Fig Drop Cookies image

This is what I ended up with from playing with a recipe from a library book. I think they ended up pretty good. Sweet and chewy with texture from the fig and pecans. I plan to play with it more to see if applesauce can replace some of the butter and if less sugar can be added or if Splenda can be used. Feel free to try them how you like.

I'm not a huge fan of figs, but these cookies were surprisingly good! The maple syrup really helped to balance out the sweetness of the figs.

Overall, I thought these cookies were good, but not great. They were a bit too sweet for my taste, and the texture was a bit too crumbly.

These cookies were really easy to make, but they didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The dough was a bit too dry, and the cookies were a bit crumbly.

I had a hard time finding fresh figs, so I used dried figs instead. The cookies still turned out great, but I think they would have been even better with fresh figs.

I've never been a huge fan of fig cookies, but these were surprisingly good! The maple syrup really balances out the sweetness of the figs, and the result is a cookie that's both sweet and savory.
