Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • ¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ¾ cup dried mango chunks, chopped small

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: Start by creaming softened butter with brown sugar until light and fluffy. Then beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. This creates a smooth, rich base that moistens your cookies perfectly.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning throughout the dough for consistency.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet, stirring gently until just combined. Overmixing can toughen cookies, so stop when there are no visible streaks of flour.
  4. Fold in Coconut and Mango: Gently fold in the shredded coconut and chopped dried mango pieces. This ensures that every cookie gets a balanced, tropical fruit and chewy coconut hit.
  5. Portion and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them well apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden but centers remain soft.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and enhance flavor melding.
  • Use freshly shredded coconut when possible for a vibrant coconut flavor.
  • Remove cookies from oven when edges are golden but centers look slightly underdone; they firm up as they cool.
  • Cut dried mango into uniform small chunks to ensure even baking and flavor distribution.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
