The key is the wet to dry ratio. The oats help to avoid the chewy texture and if you do not melt the butter at all, the batter will be firmer. I also chill mine while the over heats up (about 15 minutes) prior to baking. While I wont give out my recipe I will share this. Use DARK chocolate chips. The darker, the better. If you aren't a fan of 80% or more, them I recommend HERSHEY's Special Dark. Still sweet but a nice deep flavor. Really brings out the mango.

I began making mango-chocolate chunk (or chip) cookies about ten years ago, and I ran into the same softness issue. I was aiming for a softer cookie, but not that soft! Some of the things that I found helpful were: 1) slightly more dry ingredients (coconut has been an excellent addition, I think someone else suggested it too!) 2) using a firmer mango and adding mango chunks versus moist shredded mango (dried mango is lovely for snacking, but not the same flavor, and it may be hard to find dried mango without added sugar or sulfites). 3) cook longer at a lower temp. I was googling to see if anyone else had come up with a recipe, and lo! Hooray! Mango-chocolate chip cookies were my first foray into wild & odd cookie-baking; maybe I should share some other recipes here! Hi Ben!

Not because I don't think they wouldn't be good, but I can't imagine the taste. Mango always makes me think of fresh and tropical -- light. Chocolate chip cookies make me think of warm, cozy, comforting -- full! But you never disappoint with your creative ingenuity! I'm serious. I bow down to you for that oh great Ben. Whacha cooking for that secret dinner? Huh? Can't wait. Hmmmm….I’m thinking about these. Not because I don’t think they wouldn’t be good, but I can’t imagine the taste.

Sounds very choco-tropical, my friend. Maybe they were a little chewy because the mango adds too much moisture? I'd prob add a little coconut and play some Jimmy Buffet in the meantime :) Mango chocolate chip? Sounds very choco-tropical, my friend.
