Fig-Filled Walnut Cookies
My fig-filled cookies are delightful with a cup of tea after dinner or with a glass of cold milk for a snack. A hint of orange and honey adds a touch of sweetness. —Ymi Ton, San Diego, California

Reviews
These are delicious! The assembly of the filling into the dough was somewhat awkward -the filling bursts out of the dough and there was almost double the amount of filling left afterward- but the end result was yummy! I used the bigger cookie scoop for the balls of dough and had to bake 15 mins.
