Fig and Walnut Delight Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fig and Walnut Delight Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and give two baking sheets a light greasing to ensure your cookies slide off easily later.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter with white and brown sugar, and mix by hand until everything is beautifully blended and creamy.

3. Step 3

   Next, add in an egg and a splash of vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is fully combined and fragrant.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

5. Step 5

   Gradually fold this dry mixture into your wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix! Now, let’s bring in the star of the show: the figs.

6. Step 6

   Scoop out the flesh from the figs, reserving about two tablespoons for later.

7. Step 7

   Chop the figs and the scooped middles, then fold them along with some chopped walnuts into your cookie dough, adding a delightful crunch and flavor.

8. Step 8

   Using a spoon, drop generous mounds of the cookie batter onto your prepared baking sheets, making sure to space them about two inches apart.

9. Step 9

   For a special touch, top each mound with a little bit of the reserved fig pulp, which will add a lovely sweetness as they bake.

10. Step 10

    Pop the sheets into your preheated oven and let them bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and your kitchen is filled with a mouthwatering aroma.

11. Step 11

    Once they’re done, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

12. Step 12

    Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors in every bite!.
