Delicious August Fig Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped dried figs
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine the chopped dried figs with a tablespoon of water. Microwave for about 30 seconds to soften the figs. Let them cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  6. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until well combined. Fold in the softened figs and nuts, if using.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These August Fig Cookies are not just a treat; they are a celebration of flavors that can be enjoyed any time of the year! Enjoy baking and sharing these delightful cookies with family and friends!
