Fig and Walnut Cookies

Was super easy, I added some ground clove along with the cinnamon and I used roasted pecans instead of walnuts. I couldn’t get my cookies flat though, even with making the 2nd batch smaller.

Absolutely delicious!! Subbed pecans because I didn’t have walnuts. Almost skipped the fig on top, but so glad I didn’t- that added a yummy figgy goodness to the cookie!

I love this recipe. It’s so easy to make and really a good way to use the figs that your coworker gives you.

I made this recipe to serve 48 and it made 6 1/2 dozen. I baked these cookies as directed with a couple of changes: 1) After washing the figs and taking off the stems, I used a food processor to chop up the walnuts and figs. Then I worked the figs and walnuts into the dough adding flour to help with the stickiness of the dough. 2) I divided the dough in 2 balls and refrigerated for about an hour taking only one out at a time to work with. 3) Since I multiplied everything by 4, I needed to reserve more fig pulp to put on top. I set aside 6 heaping tablespoons and still needed to used some of my fig jam for the last batch. Maybe 8 tablespoons would have been better. They taste great! They are soft and crunchy with the walnuts. The have a hint of cinnamon and the topping is what really made them delicious!

Delicious! Recipe is great as written. The only change I made was to use pecans instead of walnuts, and I also minced the whole figs in the food processor and added to batter.

These were delicious. My edges did get a little dark but I loved the extra - little bit of texture it gave the cookies. They aren't too sweet but have a ton of flavor... and I typically love sweet desserts! This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing it!
