Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Batter
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour Consider whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder Ensure it’s fresh for optimal rise.
  • 1 cup Salted butter Unsalted butter can be substituted if you add a pinch of salt.
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar Replace with coconut sugar for a unique touch.
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar Use light or dark brown sugar interchangeably.
  • 1 large Egg For a vegan option, use a flaxseed or chia seed egg.
  • 2 tsps Vanilla extract Opt for pure vanilla extract for the best taste.
  • 1/4 cup Milk Almond or oat milk works wonderfully as a dairy alternative.
  • 1 cup Fresh mango If fresh isn’t available, frozen works too.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Mango Cookies
  1. Cream the softened salted butter with granulated and brown sugars using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Add one large egg and a splash of milk to the creamed butter and sugars, mixing until fully incorporated.
  3. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and baking powder, mixing on low until no dry flour remains visible.
  4. Fold in the diced fresh mango chunks gently with a spatula.
  5. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Combine powdered sugar with milk or mango juice, whisking until smooth for the glaze; drizzle over cooled cookies.
