Newton’s^TM-Style Fig Cookies

Here’s a recipe that’ll be a hit at snack time. With a lovely fig filling, these crumbly, buttery cookies outshine anything you’ll find at the store. While they take some effort, the reward will be worth it when they come out freshly baked. And they only get better and more tender with time. You’ll reach into the jar and, just like that, you’ll feel eight years old again, even if only for a moment.
