Here’s an enticing image of our finished product:
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are fully blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mayonnaise mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them into the cookie dough at this point.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving ample space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may appear slightly soft, but they will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
