Calories: 164kcal
Ingredients
Cookies:
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid California Figs stems removed
- 1/3 cup honey
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp orange juice
- 1 tbsp orange zest
Instructions
- In small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and cinnamon; mix well. In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and almond extract. Add flour mixture to butter mixture 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Place cookie dough on plastic wrap; shape into a 12-inch disk. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375°F. On well-floured surface, roll out dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut out cookies with Hanukkah-shaped cutters, making sure to dip cutters in flour before each use. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 9-11 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned. Remove to wire rack; cool completely. Decorate 1/2 the cookies as desired; leave remaining cookies without decoration. In food processor, puree figs, honey, cinnamon, orange juice and zest until almost smooth. Spread about 1 tablespoon filling on undecorated cookies. Top with decorated cookies.
