Description

Surprisingly rich and Chewy Mayonnaise Chocolate Chip Cookies in place of butter—moist, tender, and perfect for those out of butter or looking for an easy twist on the classic.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup mayonnaise (full-fat preferred)

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a large bowl, beat together mayonnaise, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.

4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

6. Fold in chocolate chips evenly.

7. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

8. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are set.

9. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Mayonnaise gives these cookies a soft, chewy interior without any noticeable flavor.

Avoid overbaking to keep the texture moist.

Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days for best freshness.
