# What You'll Need:

→ Dough Base

01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1/4 cup light brown sugar
04 - 1 large egg
05 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1/4 cup mango purée or rehydrated mango powder

→ Dry Ingredients

07 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
08 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
09 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Mix-ins

10 - 1/2 cup chopped dried mango (optional)

# Directions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy using a wooden spoon or hand mixer.
02 - Blend in the egg, vanilla extract, and mango purée until the batter is thoroughly combined and evenly colored.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in chopped dried mango if using.
04 - Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm and ensure minimal spreading during baking.
05 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing each mound about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
06 - Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

# Notes:

01 - Chilling the dough prior to baking enhances flavor and helps the cookies retain their shape.
