# Step-by-step Instructions:

05 - Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
06 - Gently fold in oats, coconut, dried mango, and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
07 - Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving approximately 2 inches of space between each cookie.
08 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges turn golden brown and centers are just set.
09 - Let cookies rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely before serving.
