# Ingredients Required:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 113 grams unsalted butter, softened
02 - 100 grams granulated sugar
03 - 55 grams light brown sugar
04 - 1 large egg
05 - 2.5 milliliters vanilla extract
06 - 60 milliliters mango purée or rehydrated mango powder

→ Dry Ingredients

07 - 190 grams all-purpose flour
08 - 2.5 milliliters baking soda
09 - 1.25 milliliters salt

→ Optional Add-ins

10 - 80 grams chopped dried mango

# Detailed Directions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
02 - Add the egg, vanilla extract, and mango purée. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
03 - Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the wet mixture to form a soft dough.
04 - Fold in chopped dried mango gently until evenly distributed, if using.
05 - Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to reduce spreading during baking.
06 - Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, spacing them 5 cm apart.
07 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are set.
08 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Helpful Advice:

01 - Refrigerating the dough helps prevent excessive spreading, resulting in thicker cookies.
