Scale

1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter

softened

1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar

1/4 cup (50 g) light brown sugar

1 large egg

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup (60 ml) mango purée (or rehydrated mango powder)

1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup (60 g) chopped dried mango (optional but adds chew)

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Stir in the mango purée until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
If using, fold in the chopped dried mango.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

For a more intense mango flavor, consider using fresh mango purée or adding more dried mango. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
