• Slowly add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and allspice, until combined.
• Add the oats and stir until everything is evenly distributed.
• Roughly chop the roasted macadamia nuts and add them to a medium mixing bowl along with the softened mango. Stir them together and set aside.

3. Divide and Refrigerate the Cookie Dough

• Use an ice cream scoop to divide the cookie dough into portions.
• Refrigerate the cookie dough while you preheat the oven.

4. Preheat and Bake
