Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup dried mango, chopped
• 0.5 cup dried pineapple, chopped
• 0.5 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup crispy rice cereal

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips, dried mango, dried pineapple, shredded coconut, and crispy rice cereal until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your Tropical Dried Fruit Choc Chip Cookies with a Crunch, and store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
