Time 35m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
½ cup unsalted butter
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ pound fresh figs
⅓ cup honey
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat eggs in, one at a time, until combined; stir in vanilla extract. Fold in flour mixture until well blended.
  • Combine figs, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a food processor; pulse until smooth. Stir in lemon juice until filling is slightly thinner than jam.
  • Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place on a non-stick baking sheet. Make thumbprints in batter with a wet finger. Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling into each thumbprint.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

I thought these cookies were just okay. The fig filling was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the shortbread crust was a bit too dry. I might try making them again with a different fig filling, or I might just try a different recipe altogether.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less sugar in the filling. The shortbread crust was good, but it was a bit dry. I might try making them again with a different recipe for the crust.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dry. The fig filling was also very runny. I'm not sure if I used the wrong type of figs or if I didn't measure the ingredients correctly. I'm going to try making them again soon, but I
