Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Tip: Optional: grease the parchment paper for easier cookie removal.
- 2
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
Tip: Make sure to sift the dry ingredients for an even texture.
- 3
In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter until light and fluffy.
Tip: Use an electric mixer to speed up the process.
- 4
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Tip: Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- 5
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Tip: The dough should still be slightly crumbly.
- 6
Roll the dough into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place a small spoonful of butterscotch syrup into the center of each ball.
Tip: You can also use a piping bag for a more precise filling.
- 7
Close the dough over the filling and shape into a ball, then roll in granulated sugar to coat.
Tip: This will help the cookies retain their shape during baking.
- 8
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Tip: Make sure the cookies are not touching each other.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Tip: Keep an eye on the cookies during the last 2 minutes of baking, as they can burn quickly.

This is my absolute favourite tart to make when mangoes are at their peak.
