Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup chopped fresh figs
– 2 tablespoons honey
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 and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a 1/4-inch thickness.
6. In a small bowl, mix the chopped figs and honey.
7. Spread the fig mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
8. Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from the long side. Pinch the seam to seal.
9. Slice the log into 1-inch thick cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden.
11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a sweeter filling, you can add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the fig mixture. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
