Remarks
Once the basic dough is made at stage 9, you can let your imagination guide you and (for example) use walnuts instead of almonds, muesli instead of oats, raisins or dried apricots instead of chocolate. Everything is possible (or nearly).
You can use bicarbonate of soda instead of the baking powder.
Before baking you can glaze the raw cookies at stage 12, but this is not essential.
