Description
These delicious and crispy oatmeal fig cookies are crumbly, buttery and full of good stuff. The dough doesn’t need to be refrigerated, so they can be out of your oven in 35 min!
Ingredients
Scale
- 140g butter (5 oz)
- 65g granulated sugar (⅓ cup)
- 1 tbsp honey
- 175g all-purpose flour (1 ¼ cups), sifted
- 5g baking powder (1 ¼ tsp)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch of fine sea salt
- 6 semi-dried figs, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp unsalted peanuts, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp rolled oats
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp sunflower seeds
Instructions
- Melt the butter. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat. Cut the butter into several big chunks. Place them in a heavy-based saucepan and cook over low heat until the butter is melted. Swirl the pan occasionally and remove it from the heat as soon as the butter is melted.
- Make the dough. Pour the sugar and honey in a large mixing bowl. Add the melted butter and whisk together until combined. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add to the butter mixture and mix well with a spatula to form a stiff dough. Fold in the chopped figs, peanuts, rolled oats and seeds.
- Shape and bake. Roll the dough into equal size balls (around 1 heaped tbsp of cookie dough per cookie). Flatten them with your palms and place on the baking tray. They should be around 7.5 cm (3 in) wide and 1 cm (0.4 inch) thick. Bake for 10 to 11 min. The cookies will be golden brown and have darker edges. Take out of the oven. Let them rest and harden for 15 min on the tray before transferring to a wire rack. Cool completely before eating.
Notes
These oatmeal fig cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. I think their flavors actually get better over time!
I haven’t tried it but I think 55g (⅓ cup) of finely chopped semi-sweet baking chocolate (or chips) would be a great addition to the dough!
