# Ingredients:

01 - 2 1/2 cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
02 - 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
03 - 3/4 cup (170 g) salted butter, softened
04 - 2/3 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
05 - 1/3 cup (75 g) brown sugar, packed
06 - 1 egg, at room temperature
07 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
08 - 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
09 - 2 cups (320 g) diced fresh or frozen mango

→ Glaze

10 - 1 cup powdered sugar
11 - 1-2 tbsp milk or mango juice
12 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

# Instructions:

01 - Place the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract into a large mixing bowl. Beat on high speed with a handheld or stand mixer for 2 to 3 minutes until creamy.
02 - Add the egg and pour in the milk. Mix on low speed until well incorporated, scraping down the bowl as needed.
03 - With the mixer on low, stir in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be creamy and thick.
04 - Gently fold the diced mango into the dough with a spatula, taking care not to squish the fruit.
05 - Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
06 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
07 - Scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie and place them 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
08 - Bake the cookies for 14 to 16 minutes, or until they spring back when gently pressed.
09 - Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
10 - Whisk the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk (or mango juice) until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
11 - Drizzle the glaze over the cookies and allow it to set.
12 - Store the glazed cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature, or up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
