Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Mango Cookies
  1. Cream together 1/2 cup of softened salted butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar until creamy and light, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then gradually pour in 2 tablespoons of milk, mixing until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup of diced mango, ensuring even distribution without overworking the dough.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared sheets, leaving space between each.
  9. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set but soft.
  10. Cool on sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
  11. Prepare the glaze by whisking together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk or mango juice until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
