Can I use dried mango, fresh mango, or frozen mango for these cookies?

All three forms of mango work well in this recipe in their specific applications. Fresh mango blended to a smooth puree provides the most vibrant and most naturally fragrant mango flavor in the cookie base. Frozen mango thawed and blended produces the same result as fresh. Canned mango pureed smooth is the most convenient substitute. Chopped dried mango folded through the dough provides the most pleasantly chewy texture pieces and the most intensely concentrated sweet mango flavor as an optional addition.

Why must the dough be chilled before baking?

The fresh mango puree introduces additional moisture to the cookie dough that causes the dough to spread too aggressively during baking without prior chilling, producing flat and thin rather than the most beautifully thick and most properly soft-centered mango cookies. The 30-minute refrigerator chill firms the dough to the most optimal baking consistency that maintains the most beautifully defined individual cookie shape throughout the entire baking period.

How do I make fresh mango puree?

Peel and remove the flesh from the most ripe mango, discarding the skin and pit. Add the flesh to a blender and blend until completely smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve if a completely lump-free texture is desired, though the puree generally blends most smoothly without straining when using a very ripe mango. One medium mango produces approximately half a cup of puree, which is exactly the quantity needed for this recipe.
