Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheet
- Wire rack
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup dried figs, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Beat softened butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add honey, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Notes
For best results, don’t overmix the dough. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Add a slice of bread to the container to keep cookies soft, or freeze shaped dough for up to 3 months. Try variations like spiced, glazed, or nutty versions!
