Failure is good - Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made Flourless Chocolate Chip cookies. My husband gets them where he plays golf and loves them, so I thought I’d give it a go.

My first attempt was in NYC, where I had limited baking equipment in my kitchen. Therefore, I blew off the “sift together” part, and unfortunately they came out flat and un-chewy(my word).
