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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded coconut, chopped Brazil nuts, dried mango, and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
