Ingredients
Cookie Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup oat flour
- ¼ cup flax seed
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup almond milk or milk of your choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling ingredients
- 2 cups dried figs
- Water
Instructions
- Rinse the dried figs and soak overnight or for at least 1 hour.
- If you don’t have oat flour, blend 1 ¼ cups of oats in the food processor to create the flour.
- Add the rest of the cookie ingredients to the food processor and blend until a consistent dough forms.
- Spread the cookie dough on a sheet with parchment paper. You can use a rolling pin to flatten it out and shape it into a ¼ inch thick rectangle. (See pictures above)
- Make the filling. Add the soaked figs to the food processor and blend until a thick paste has formed. You may need to add some water, 1 tbsp at a time, until you have reached the correct consistency.
- Spoon the fig filling into the cookie dough, making it in a log shape. Fold up the sides of the cookie dough and pinch closed. Flip the cookie log over using the parchment paper so that the seam is on the bottom.
- Bake at 350℉ for about 20-25 minutes. Allow the log to cool and slice into cookies, you should get about 20 slices. Top with some powdered sugar and enjoy!
Notes
Be very careful slicing the cookies. The cookie component can crumble so slice slowly holding each piece do it doesn't break.
