6. Fig and Walnut Cookies
Figs are sweet, so while they are also amazing in savory dishes, it only makes sense that they be used in a dessert dish from time to time. These cookies combine perfect pastry dough with a delicious filling that is not too sweet, but just sweet enough. The filling combines figs, raisins, honey, orange juice, cinnamon, lemon zest and walnuts, resulting in a nutty and fruity center that is to die for. For anyone who loves dessert but is looking for something a little more interesting than chocolate, this recipe has your name all over it. Think of it as a very grown up, homemade (and way better) fig newton.
