Create delicious fig bars for holiday gifts or cookie platters. Enjoy the irresistible sweet fig filling!
Ingredients:
  • 3 cups dried figs
  • 1 cup water
  • 0.5 cup butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions:
  • Soak figs in water for 1 hour to soften. Cook the mixture in a small saucepan over medium heat until it thickens into a luscious stew-like consistency, which should take about 30 minutes or longer. Once ready, remove from heat and let it cool.
  • Cream sugar and butter in a large bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy. Mix in milk and vanilla until well combined. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt, then mix into the creamed mixture. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour before proceeding.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Divide dough into two pieces and knead lightly. Roll each piece into a 9x13-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Place one piece of dough in the pan, add fig mixture, and cover with the second piece of dough.
  • Bake until beautifully golden brown, approximately 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow to cool, then cut into 20 delightful squares.
