Fresh Fig Cookies

Hello Dear Friends,

Today is the first day of October and I wanted to prepare a recipe that suits autumn with figs that we are getting ready to say goodbye to.

I quickly prepared a marmalade with the figs I bought from the market yesterday, You can find the marmalade recipe here. This time, as I wanted a slightly more intense aroma, I added a little bit of cardamom to the marmalade, apart from cloves and cinnamon. The marmalade I prepared is already around 2,5 cups. I separated 1 glass of fig marmalade and added 3 tablespoons of walnuts, which I took in a blender, and it was a nice thick stuffing :)

If you say you don't want to make marmalade or you don't have enough figs to make marmalade at home, you can peel 4-5 figs and boil them by adding a little sugar and a little water. Once the mixture has evaporated, you can add walnuts to it and let it cool. This will be very practical and delicious.

Since the inner mortar of the cookie is sweet and I will serve it with powdered sugar, I reduced the sugar of the dough as much as possible. It was just right for my taste, but you can add a little more sugar to the dough if you want.

I hope it will be a peaceful and enjoyable October..

Love…
