Mango Cookies with Vanilla Glaze (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour
02 -
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
03 -
3/4 cup (170g) salted butter, softened
04 -
2/3 cup (150g) granulated sugar
05 -
1/3 cup (75g) brown sugar, packed
06 -
1 egg, at room temperature
07 -
1 tsp vanilla extract
08 -
1/4 cup (60ml) milk
09 -
2 cups (320g) diced fresh or frozen mango (about 2 fruits)
→ Glaze (optional)
10 -
1 cup powdered sugar
11 -
1-2 tbsp milk (can substitute mango juice)
12 -
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
# Instructions:
01 -
Place the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract into a large mixing bowl. With a handheld mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat on high speed until creamy, for 2 to 3 minutes.
02 -
Add the egg and pour in the milk. Mix on low speed until incorporated. Occasionally, scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
03 -
With the mixer running on low, stir in the flour and baking powder. Mix until just combined, and you no longer see streaks of flour. Be careful not to overmix. Batter will be creamy, thick, and sticky.
04 -
With a spatula or large spoon, gently fold the mango chunks into the cookie dough. Work carefully so the fruit pieces remain intact and don't squish.
05 -
Cover the mixing bowl tightly with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour (and up to 2 days).
06 -
Adjust a baking rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
07 -
Take the dough out of the fridge. Scoop portions of dough, 1.5 tablespoons each, and place them 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
08 -
Bake the mango cookies for 14 to 16 minutes or until a cookie springs back when gently poked with your finger.
09 -
Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Then transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10 -
In a small mixing bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk (or mango juice if using) until smooth. Add more powdered sugar to thicken or more milk to thin if needed.
11 -
Drizzle the glaze over the cookies and let set before serving or storing.
