Cookies with mayonnaise - a recipe from Soviet times

Today I’ll tell you how to make cookies from the times of my youth. Moderately crispy and crumbly, a little like classic shortbread, it’s perfect for breakfast with coffee or tea, and it won’t just sit on the plate for long. A pile of such cookies, left on the table in the morning, somehow disappears imperceptibly in the evening. It’s our naughty girls who don’t leave cookies unattended.

• Number of servings - 100 pieces.
  
• Cooking - 1 hour.

Ingredients :

• flour – 400 g,
  
• granulated sugar – 150 g,
  
• milk – 50 ml,
  
• mayonnaise – 100 g,
  
• eggs – 1 piece,
  
• soda - 1 g,
  
• vanilla powder – 2 g,
  
• poppy seed – a pinch for sprinkling.

Pour granulated sugar into the bowl where the cookie dough will be mixed.

Add hot milk there to dissolve the sand faster.

Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cool.

In a separate cup, mix the egg and mayonnaise.

Add vanillin and soda. Mix thoroughly.

Sift flour into a bowl. You can sift it in advance and just add it.

Mix the dough until it has a homogeneous consistency. Cover the bowl with cling film and place in the refrigerator for half an hour to allow the proteins to swell.

Take the dough out of the refrigerator. For convenience, we divide it into two parts.

Roll out the dough into a layer 6-7 mm thick.

Use special notches to form cookies from the dough. You can also use a thin glass.

Cookie blanks can be sprinkled with granulated sugar and poppy seeds. In this case, you should roll it a little.

Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with oiled baking paper. Bake cookies for 15 minutes at 200°.

The cookies turn out slightly crispy and crumbly. Ideal for tea and coffee, jelly and compote.
