Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for vegan option)
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg (or flax egg: 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water for vegan option)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (toasted for extra flavor)
  • ¾ cup dried mango pieces, chopped evenly

Instructions

  1. Prepare the wet ingredients: Start by creaming the softened butter with brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to create a smooth, fragrant base.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.
  3. Mix wet and dry ingredients: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a soft but firm dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Add coconut and mango: Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped dried mango pieces evenly throughout the dough for bursts of flavor and texture.
  5. Shape and bake: Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking tray, flatten slightly, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes until golden around the edges.
  6. Cool and enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to reach room temperature for the perfect bite.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter to achieve a smooth cream when mixing with sugar, making the cookies tender.
  • Don’t overmix the dough to keep the cookies soft and prevent toughness.
  • Toast the shredded coconut lightly before mixing for a nuttier, more complex flavor.
  • Chop mango pieces uniformly to distribute sweet bursts evenly without overcrowding the dough.
  • Let cookies cool properly to help them hold their shape and develop the ideal texture.
