The Most Delicious Fig Cookies | A New Go To Cookie Recipe For Christmas
We believe this fig cookie recipe is what you should go for this christmas. We all are a bit bored with this seemingly non-ending quarantine. It feels like living in a loop and we all need some change. For starters why not diverge from your regular cookie recipe to something unordinary for your Christmas. A bit cakey on the outside. Fig filling gives the cookies a nice and gooey texture on the inside. Also it is a fairly healthier option to chocolate chip cookies or anything with more aritificial sweetener since instead you're going to use the natural sweetness of figs. Who would know making Fig Newtons at home would be so easy. You can watch the video for instructions but ingredients, you can find below.
