Mango macs

Mango macadamia nut cookies!

Felt like something a little tropical to warm up the snowday today.

Mango Macs

1 cup coconut oil
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp almond extract
2 tsps vanilla extract

3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

1 cup chopped dried mango pieces
1 cup chopped macadamias

Set oven to 350. 

Gently boil the dried mango pieces in just enough orange juice or water to soften them up.  5-10 mins till liquid is almost gone, then let cool. 

Cream coconut oil and sugars together till fluffy. Add eggs and extracts. 

Combine dry ingredients and gradually stir into wet mixture. 

Add mango pieces and macadamias.  

Freeze dough in 2-3 inch cylinders wrapped in foil or parchment


Once frozen, unwrap and slice into 1/4 rounds and bake cookies for 10-12 mins at 350.
