Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature to ensure your cookies bake evenly, with a delightful golden edge.
-
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This crucial step will give your cookies a wonderful texture.
-
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until well combined. The egg will help bind everything together while adding richness.
-
Stir in the mango purée until well incorporated. This is where the tremendous tropical flavor starts to shine.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon if using. This step ensures your dry ingredients are evenly distributed and helps with the cookie structure.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If you choose to use them, gently fold in the dried mango bits to add even more texture and flavor.
-
Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading as they bake.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Keep an eye on them; you want them just set but still soft in the center.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is important for maintaining that soft, luscious texture throughout.
