Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

The UK is currently facing a flour shortage. These are words I didn't think I'd ever find myself typing, let alone during a global pandemic, but here we are. Seeing as the world and his wife is unable to get their hands on any flour, for this weeks' bake I thought we could test out this flourless cookie recipe. Yep, no flour needed here, baby! Coincidentally, this recipe also doesn't need any butter so these beauties were made entirely from things that we have laying around in the cupboards! 

Whilst they're called cookies and very much look like cookies, I'd actually say that they're more like meringues than cookies. They're light, but gooey and chewy, and pretty damn tasty if you ask me. Now, they taste even better after being warmed in the microwave for ten seconds - mmm mmmmmmm. 

Of all the recipes I've posted here on Becc4, these flourless chocolate chip cookies are by far the easiest to make and can be made, baked and tasted in twenty minutes, can I hear a hooray? No more slaving away in the kitchen for hours, I'm looking at you Biscoff Cheesecake.
