Ingredients
Cookies
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup almond milk or other vegan-friendly milk
- 1 tsp vanilla 1/2
Mango Filling
- 1-2 ripe mangoes Peeled. **See notes about quantity.
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
Vanilla Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 Tbsp almond milk or other vegan-friendly milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Make Mango Filling
- Peel and cut mangoes into chunks. Place mango in blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
- In a small saucepan, combine the mango puree, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to simmer.
- Add the cornstarch mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the filling thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Make Thumbprint Cookies
- In a large bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more almond milk; if it's too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
- Fill each indentation with a small amount of the mango filling.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make Glaze
- Whisk all of your vanilla glaze ingredients together until smooth.
- Drizzle glaze over cooled mango thumbprint cookies.
- Allow glaze to set for about 30 minutes.
