Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup dried mango, chopped
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer or whisk.
- Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and coconut flakes. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Gently fold the chopped dried mango pieces into the dry ingredient mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a cohesive cookie dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to create a uniform shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers appear set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality dried mango and fresh rolled oats to enhance the flavor of your cookies. The better the ingredients, the tastier the result!
- Don’t Overmix the Dough: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Flatten the Dough Balls: For even baking and a uniform shape, gently flatten the cookie dough balls before placing them in the oven. This helps them spread evenly while baking.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake. They should be lightly golden around the edges and set in the center. If you prefer a chewier texture, take them out a minute or two earlier.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to get creative! Add nuts, chocolate chips, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon to customize your cookies to your liking.
- Store Properly: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last up to 5 days—if they last that long!
