Mayonnaise cookies recipe

10 years ago

last modified: 10 years ago

I need to use up 2 jars of mayo with only a month to go before the use-by date.

I'd love some T&T mayo cookie recipe. There's recipes on the net, but I prefer a T&T from forum members.

Can one freeze mayo cookies? I know mayo itself doesn't like to be freezed.

Thanks!

Many thanks for all the replies!
The jars are unopened. I'll just stick them in the fridge. I'm glad I posted. Not only did I save money but I also discovered some interesting recipes. I must try that chocolate cake. Won't tell my victims what's in it - only when they clamour for more!
Grainlady, I didn't manage to get into the stilltasty site from the link you posted, but I did get it by googling "stilltasty". So useful! Great!

I met my old mayo

In the fridge last night

It seemed glad to see me

I just smiled

And we talked about some old chives

And I dipped my spoon in the jar

Are the jars unopened? Have they been stored in a stable environment? The "use by" date is just a suggestion.

Not cookies, but I'd suggest Duke's Mayo Chocolate Cake. I've made it several time and people love it.

I found the Cookie Art Exchange which includes some recipes (look for Cookie Recipes in the left-hand column under "Brown Bag Cookie Art". Here are some additional recipes from the small booklet that came with my cookie mold, from Brown Bag Cookie Art: Chocolate Cookies Follow the recipe for Sugar Cookies at the web site, but add 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa to the sugar. Do not chill the dough. Mold as directed. =============================================== Orange Spice Cookies 1/2 cup butter - softened 1/2 cup light brown sugar - packed 1 egg (medium or large) 1 Tablespoon grated orange rind 1 tsp. grated lemon rind 1 Tablespoon orange liquor 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 tsp. ground cloves 1/8 tsp. allspice 1/4 tsp. salt 2 cups flour - scoop measured (use your measuring cup to scoop flour from the bag, then level) Thoroughly cream the softened butter and sugar together by hand or with a mixer. Beat in the egg (if using a mixer, use the slowest speed), the grated orange and lemon rinds, and the orange liquor. In a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients, then stir them into the butter mixture. Knead for a minute. Chill the dough for 30 minutes and mold cookies as directed. Bake at 350Â° in the top third of your oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are nicely browned. ============== Enjoy! Jen

Unopened mayo will still be perfectly good after the use-by date...at least a year, IME.

Off topic but a good use for excess mayo is a topping for cauliflower. I nuke a whole (unbroken) head of cauliflower...in a pie plate with a couple tablespoons of water, Saran Wrap stretched over and sealed under the pie plate ...until it is almost done. Mix up 3/4-1 cup of mayo, a teaspoon or so of prepared mustard, dash of Worcestershire sauce and 1-2 T. finely minced onion. Remove Saran wrap from cooked cauliflower, spread the mayo mixture over the top of the cauliflower, add some grated Cheddar Cheese and return to the microwave...cooking until the cheese melts. This is one of our favorite ways to serve cauliflower; there are never any leftovers and it's rare that I manage even a tiny second helping between DS & DH. :(

BLT's, turkey sandwiches, roast beef sandwiches, tuna, ranch dressing, thousand island dressing, tartar sauce, artichoke dip, spinach dip, spread on outside of bread before grilling any sandwich, spread on fish before grilling... I must go through a jar a month, but I've never heard of mayo cookies?

As others have said, if un-open and in a cool place, use by date can be ignored, the smell test when opening should let you know...

When in doubt about shelf-life of a food item, you can check a helpful web site like Still Tasty - http://stilltasty.com/. They say it's good for 3-4 months after the use-by date. In the world of home food storage, mayo is one of those items on our "indefinite", or nearly so, storage list, oddly enough. It's actually a very stable product due to the ingredients, especially if you store it at temperatures of 70°F or colder. I would simply step up use, as others have shared.
