These Italian Fig Cookies are a delightful treat with a tender dough and a sweet fig, almond, and honey filling. They're perfect for special occasions or as a comforting snack.
Ingredients: For the dough:. - 3 cups all-purpose flour. - 1/2 cup granulated sugar. - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. - 1/4 teaspoon salt. - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed. - 3 large eggs. - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. - Zest of 1 lemon. For the fig filling:. - 1 1/2 cups dried figs, stems removed and chopped. - 1/2 cup almonds, chopped. - 1/4 cup honey. - 1/4 cup orange marmalade. - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. For the icing:. - 1 cup powdered sugar. - 2 tablespoons milk. - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. - Colored sprinkles optional.
Instructions: In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two portions, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. For the fig filling, combine the chopped dried figs, chopped almonds, honey, orange marmalade, and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Mix well. Roll out one portion of the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread half of the fig filling evenly over the dough. Roll up the dough from the longer side, jelly-roll style. Repeat with the other portion of dough and remaining filling. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before slicing them diagonally into cookies. For the icing, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookies and top with colored sprinkles if desired. Let the icing set before serving. Enjoy these delicious Italian fig cookies!
