Oatmeal Fig Cookies with Chocolate Chunks

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup dried figs, chopped
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing well until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in the rolled oats, chopped figs, and chocolate chunks, ensuring that all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
