# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - Softened unsalted butter, 113 grams
02 - Mango purée or rehydrated mango powder, 60 milliliters
03 - Light brown sugar, 55 grams
04 - Large egg, 1
05 - Granulated sugar, 100 grams
06 - Vanilla extract, 2.5 milliliters

→ Dry Ingredients

07 - Baking soda, 2.5 milliliters
08 - Salt, 1.25 milliliters
09 - All-purpose flour, 190 grams

→ Extras

10 - Chopped dried mango, 80 grams

# Detailed Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Scoop out dough in tablespoons and spread them out with about 5 cm between each.
02 - Once baked, let the cookies rest a bit on the tray. Then move them over to a wire rack so they can cool off fully.
03 - Take flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them well in a different bowl. Slowly combine this with your wet mix until you get a soft dough.
04 - If you want, fold in the chopped dried mango bit by bit so it spreads well through the dough.
05 - Beat your softened butter with both sugars in a big bowl until it’s fluffy and light in color.
06 - Crack in the egg, then pour the vanilla and mango purée. Mix everything until it's smooth with no lumps.
07 - Wrap the dough and pop it in the fridge for half an hour. This stops cookies from spreading too much while baking.
08 - Put the tray in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Look for edges turning lightly golden and centers set.

# Helpful Tips:

01 - Keeping the dough cold makes your cookies thicker and keeps them from getting too flat.
