Create the Cookie Dough Foundation

Start by placing softened butter in a large mixing bowl, then add sugar. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a creamy consistency.

Incorporate the egg yolk, blending well so the mixture becomes smooth and homogenous.

Gradually sift in all of the flour together with the cinnamon. Knead the mixture by hand until a supple, cohesive dough forms. The aroma of cinnamon will begin to fill your kitchen, setting the tone for these autumnal treats.

Step

Of 3

Incorporate Figs and Walnuts

Chop the dried figs into bite-sized pieces and roughly break up the walnut kernels.

Add both the figs and walnuts to the dough. Gently knead again to evenly distribute the fruit and nuts, ensuring every cookie will be packed with flavor and texture.

Shape, Bake, and Enjoy

Roll the dough into small balls and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in a preheated, fan-assisted oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. The cookies should be golden and fragrant when done.

Once ready, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the tray to prevent them from breaking. Relish your homemade autumn treats with friends or a comforting cup of tea!
