Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter and sugar until creamy, usually about 2–3 minutes.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Cooking
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Fold in the mango puree and chopped dried mango, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Serving
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Allow them to cool completely to enhance their chewy texture.
- Serve warm with a side of fresh fruit or your favorite yogurt for a complete snack!
Notes
For optimal flavor, let the dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking. Pair with coconut milk or smoothie for best enjoyment.
