Fig Cookie (Filled with Dried Figs and Walnuts)

Hello Dear Friends,

I'm sure you will come across this cookie recipe very often this winter :) In fact, on Monday Fig Custard When I was thinking about what to do with the leftovers from the figs I prepared, it came out by itself :) The dough was such a flexible dough that took shape so easily that it was prepared in a jiffy, without needing to rest, neither rolling nor sprinkling flour on the counter.

If it takes shape so easily, I said, if I'm making fig cookies, why shouldn't it look like a fig? After giving the shape of a drop in my hand, I gave lines by pressing lightly with the help of a stick skewer. Is it OK? I think it did :)

There is no baking powder in the dough, since the dried fig filling is very sweet, I used as little sugar as possible. I said the weather is cool, then you should add some spice to it. There were cloves and star anise at home, crushing them and adding them to the fig walnut mortar with cinnamon powder, I think it tasted just right…

It's a confusing and delicious recipe for those who want to try something fantastically kuntastic :)

I didn't have time to shoot a video, but since I prepared the cookie with one hand while taking a photo with one hand, consider how easy it is :)

Love…

How to Make Fig Cookie (Filled with Dried Figs and Walnuts) Recipe?

1. Soak the figs in hot water for 15 minutes. Crush the cloves and, if using, star anise in a mortar.
2. Take the softened figs together with the walnuts into the blender, add cloves, cinnamon and star anise and run them at short intervals until they become puree.
3. For the dough, put the eggs, granulated sugar, yogurt and butter in a kneading bowl and mix. Add the flour and knead.
4. When you get a dough that does not stick to the hand and the container, take it to the counter and knead for another 1-2 minutes.
5. Take walnut-sized pieces from the dough and press them open on the counter with your hands.
6. Peel half a teaspoon of fig mortar in the middle and close it by giving it a drop shape.
7. If desired, shape the edges by making thin lines as in the photo.
8. Place the cookies you prepared on the baking tray on which you have lined greaseproof paper at 2-3 cm intervals.
9. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 15-18 minutes.
10. Serve the cookies brought to room temperature.
