Tropical Mango Cookie Treats (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Powdered mix

01 - 48 grams freeze dried mango chunks
02 - 150 grams regular flour
03 - ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
04 - ¼ teaspoon baking powder

→ Moist components

05 - 113 grams butter without salt, room temperature
06 - 100 grams dark brown sugar
07 - 100 grams white sugar
08 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
09 - 1 large egg
10 - ½ teaspoon table salt

→ Extra bits

11 - 85 grams chewy dried mango pieces

# Instructions:

01 - Put your oven rack in the middle. Turn oven on to 350° Fahrenheit (177° Celsius, Gas mark 4).
02 - Put your freeze dried mangoes, flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a food processor with the blade. Pulse until mangoes turn into fine dust mixed with flour. Set it aside.
03 - Take your dried mangoes and chop them into tiny bits with a sharp knife. Put them aside for later.
04 - Get your stand mixer with the paddle part attached. Beat the butter with both sugars at medium speed until it's light and fluffy, around 2-3 minutes. Wipe down the sides with a spatula when needed.
05 - Drop in your vanilla, egg, and salt to the butter mix. Keep mixing until everything blends together. Don't forget to clean the sides of the bowl.
06 - Dump the mango-flour mixture into your wet ingredients. Mix it slowly until you can still see a few flour streaks. Use a spatula to finish mixing by hand.
07 - With your spatula, softly stir the chopped mango pieces into your cookie dough.
08 - Use a medium cookie scoop (about 1½ tablespoons) to make 8 dough balls on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
09 - Bake just one tray at a time for about 10-12 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown.
10 - Right after taking cookies out, grab a round cookie cutter or big drinking glass and circle around each cookie to make them perfectly round.
11 - Leave the cookies on the hot tray for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack until they're totally cool.

# Notes:

01 - When you've got small bags of freeze dried mango, just add more flour to reach 48 grams total.
02 - Really beat that butter and sugar well to make your cookies nice and fluffy.
03 - A round cutter makes your cookies look like they came from a fancy bakery.
