FAQs
1. Can I use dried mango instead of fresh?
Yes, but keep in mind that dried mango is chewier and may alter the texture. Also, you might want to reduce the sugar a bit since dried fruit can be sweeter.
2. Can I make these cookies vegan?
You can substitute the butter with a vegan butter alternative and use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water) instead of the regular egg.
3. Can I use gluten-free flour?
Yes, you can use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version of these cookies. Just keep an eye on the texture, as it may vary slightly.
