Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup chopped Brazil nuts
- 0.5 cup chopped dried mango
- 0.75 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the shredded coconut, chopped Brazil nuts, dried mango, and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
