Ingredients

2 cups figs (chopped)

2 1/2 cups flour

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup sugar (white)

1 Tbsp. sugar (brown) (for the fig mixture)

2 tsps. baking powder

1/2 cup brown sugar (for the dough)

3/4 cup butter (soft)

Directions

Pre heat your oven to 400 degrees....if your oven bakes hot reduce to 375 degrees.

Chop the figs add the brown sugar - add approximately 1 cup water - allow to come to a boil and turn to low heat - stirring often, allow the mixture to reduce and come to a soft paste. Remove from heat and set to cool.

Sift flour, baking powder, salt, mix well, add sugars and cut in your butter make a soft dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 mins.

On a well flour surface take the dough and roll out to 1/2 inch thick cut long strips 3 inches wide.

Spread fig mixture in the center and fold the dough over to create a seam - pinch firmly.

Bake for 12-15 minutes - check them at 10 minutes for color - this is a eye bake so these are not cookies you can set and forget these have to be watched.

When removed from the oven cut into 2 inch cookies. Enjoy!
