Steps:
- 1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add figs, water and orange juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes or until figs are tender and the liquid is almost evaporated
- 2. Transfer the fig mixture to the bowl of a food processor and blend to a paste, stopping to scrape the sides if needed. Transfer the paste to a bowl to cool off.
- 3. Meanwhile, combine flour, baking powder and salt in a big bowl; whisk well
- 4. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add butter and brown sugar. With the paddle attachment on, process until creamy. Add egg, vanilla and orange zest; process until well mixed, about 30 seconds.
- 5. Add flour mixture and on low speed, process until the dough comes together, about 1 minute. Transfer the dough onto a work surface and form 3 equal balls. Place them in a bowl and transfer to the fridge to chill, at least 15 minutes.
- 6. Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- 7. When chilled, working in batches, place one ball on a parchment paper and form a small rectangle. Place another parchment paper on top and flatten it out with a rolling pin to about 5-inches wide x 12-inches long and a little less than ¼-inch thick. Scoop 1/3 fig paste in the center of dough and spread it out evenly, leaving some space around the edges.
- 8. Bring one side of the cookie dough over the paste using the parchment paper to help fold it over. Gently peel off the dough from the paper; repeat with the other side. Cut the ends of the log to make it neater and even. Measure the width of the log and cut the same measurement lengthwise so the cookies are square. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space in between each cookie.
- 9. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until golden on the bottom. Remove from the heat and place them on a wire rack to cool. Makes 2 dozen
- 10. NOTE: When freshly made, the cookies will be a bit crispy. Place them in an airtight container and they will get soft and chewy just like the commercial ones.

FIG NEWTON-ISH COOKIES
This is a dark, not very sweet, fig-filled cookie, basically a homemade fig newton. The crust gets a toasty flavor from whole wheat flour and walnuts, while the fig filling really lets the dark flavor of the fruit come through. These are definitely better the next day, as the cookies soften and the flavors get a chance to meld together.

Steps:
- Combine whole wheat flour, ground walnuts, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl.
- Beat butter, brown sugar, and honey together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg, orange zest, and vanilla extract; beat until thoroughly combined. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, mixing until just combined and dough is very soft and sticky.
- Wrap dough in plastic wrap. Pat into a disk and refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight.
- Place figs, water, honey, orange juice, vanilla extract, orange zest, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan. Bring filling mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until figs are softened and fall apart easily when pressed with a spoon, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes.
- Place filling mixture into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Pour puree into a glass container and let cool completely until filling has a spreadable consistency. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a work surface and generously flour the paper and a rolling pin. Roll out the chilled cookie dough into a 10x14-inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Continue to flour the parchment and rolling pin as necessary. Divide dough into 4 strips about 3 1/2 inches wide by 10 inches long.
- Divide the fig filling among the strips of dough. Spread filling lengthwise down the center of each piece, leaving about 1/2 inch of space on the sides. Gently pull one side of the dough halfway over the filling. Repeat with the opposite side and pinch to seal in the filling to form a cookie log about 1 inch wide and 10 inches long.
- Gently roll the log over so it's seam-side down. Brush off any excess flour and gently press the top of the roll to flatten slightly. Repeat this process with the other dough strips.
- Brush off any excess flour from the top of, and in between, the cookie logs. Gently lift the parchment paper, with the cookies still on it, onto a baking sheet. Arrange logs about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cookies just begin to brown and feel slightly crispy to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes. Use a serrated knife to slice each log into 8 pieces about 1 1/4 inch long and 1 inch wide. Let cookies cool completely, at least 40 minutes.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container until softened, 8 hours to overnight.
