In short, flour acts like an anchor that helps the cookies hold their shape. But, in this recipe, we are not using flour. So, the first thing people think is that our cookies will spread. Well, that is so not true. We are adding eggs. Eggs will help the cookie hold its shape.

Now, we don’t want them to be so tight that they remain small round balls when you take them out of the oven. right? Well, for that we add sugar. Besides absorbing moisture and making the cookie crispier, sugar helps the cookies spread out.
