Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup dried figs, finely chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
7. Spread the chopped figs evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
8. Carefully roll the dough up into a log, starting from the long side.
9. Slice the log into 1-inch thick cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden brown.
11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a softer cookie, bake for the lower end of the time range. For a slightly crisper cookie, bake for the higher end. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
