Fig Thumbprint Cookies

Fig Thumbprint Cookies
  • Cookie:
  • 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Fig Filling:
  • 1/2 pound fresh figs
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Mix flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  3. Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat eggs in, one at a time, until combined; stir in vanilla extract. Fold in flour mixture until well blended.
  4. Combine figs, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a food processor; pulse until smooth. Stir in lemon juice until filling is slightly thinner than jam.
  5. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place on a non-stick baking sheet. Make thumbprints in batter with a wet finger. Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling into each thumbprint.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
