So our Fig tree has been producing dozens of little Figs and, for the life of me, I didn't know what to do with them...not enough for preserves, too many for a salad. So, I decided to bake. I'm really glad I stumbled upon this recipe. These cookies are
really good.

The fig cookies look good. A few years ago I went on a quest for fig recipes, and found several I like. One of my faves is fib cobbler -- and it has a crust made with sharp cheddar. I will post this later this summer when the figs come in.
