MANGO HAWAIIAN COOKIES



Mango Hawaiian Cookies image

This is a fresh cookie that I go for when I don't want the old standby chip cookies. A little lighter than most, and almost cake-like in the middle. They go really well with a pina colada or any other fruity drink for that matter!

Time 1h45m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup orange juice
½ cup chopped dried mango
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup shortening
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
¾ cup flaked coconut
½ cup chopped dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Simmer orange juice and mango in a small pan over medium-low heat for 8 minutes. Set aside. Beat the butter, shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the macadamia nuts, coconut, cranberries, and mango; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Drop spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
