Description
Delicious mango cookies that perfectly balance sweetness, texture, and flavor, offering a delightful twist on traditional recipes.
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup ripe mango, pureed
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by gathering them on your counter.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, mango puree, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- If using, gently fold in nuts or chocolate chips.
- Create uniform balls of dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced about two inches apart.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden around the edges but soft in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure your mango is ripe for optimal flavor. Adjust sugars according to your preference for a lighter or sweeter cookie. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
