Cookie Dough
- 2 sticks 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 3/4 cups white sugar 350g
- 3 cups all-purpose flour 360g
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt divided
- 1 teaspoon baking soda 7g
- 1 egg room temperature
- 2 egg yolks room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1/4 cup dried sweet rice 46g
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried mango
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric optional
Coconut Glaze
- 1/4 cup coconut cream
- 2 cups powdered sugar 265g
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and airy (about 2 minutes).
Add egg, egg yolks, and coconut extract. Mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and baking soda. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
Divide dough evenly into two portions.
Make the Sticky Rice Dough
In a dry skillet over medium-high heat, toast the sweet rice, stirring constantly until golden brown.
Grind toasted rice using a mortar and pestle or food processor until fine.
Knead the ground rice into one half of the dough until fully incorporated.
Assemble & Bake
Scoop about 1 tablespoon from each dough and roll them together to create a marbled effect.
Place cookies 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Gently press down slightly if desired.
Bake 12–14 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely.
Make the Coconut Glaze
Whisk coconut cream, powdered sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt until smooth and slightly thick. Adjust thickness with additional powdered sugar if needed.
Once cookies are fully cooled, drizzle glaze over the tops in a zig-zag pattern. Allow glaze to set before serving.
These Mango Sticky Rice Cookies deliver tropical flavor and buttery richness in every swirl.
