Crispy yet moist and tasty, bring these to the office just to see the expressions on their faces after you tell them what’s in them, but don’t tell until after they’ve tried them. These are our family’s favourite cookie and so easy to make with the kids.

If anyone asks why you’d make mayonnaise cookies, remind them that mayo is just eggs and oil, so it’s the equivalent of eggs and oil/butter in other cookies. There’s just something about these though that makes them rich and . You can’t eat just one. And that’s why I always double the recipe.
