What happens when you make potato salad, realized you don’t have mayonaise, then make mayonnaise and then have a random egg white just sitting there looking at you!
I am a big proponent of not wasting food, so i try to use all that I can and this was the outcome of trying to accomplish that. I do tend to ponder, am I using more by trying to use something that could be just thrown away?? But this was a fun experiment and it was just the right amount of cookies!
Note: this makes about 2 dozen cookies, which if you have any self control issues is great, but I definitely got a look from the hubby that “this was it”!
Another Betty Crocker win!
