Best Answer

To add flavor to the finished cookie. Cinnamon is part of a group of 'hot spices' that are often used in baking sweets. Others are cloves, nutmeg, and allspice. They could be substituted for the cinnamon, though you might want to reduce the amount used since they are very assertive flavors. All four of these spices are also used very effectively in seasoning non-dessert items like vegetables and meats along with more conventionally used spices like black, green, or white peppercorns, or star anise. Yes, peppercorns or star anise could, and are, used in making dessert type foods.

Hmmm. One can not substitute flour with baking powder. One can however substitute selfraising flour with ordinary flour and a few teaspoons of baking powder. (My best guess would be approx 1 teaspoon of baking powder per 150-200 grams of flour.)
