Ingredients:
For Fig Filling:
1 lb dried figs
1 cup apple juice
¼ tsp salt
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
For Cookie Crust:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
¾ cup light brown sugar
2 pcs egg yolks
1 tbsp cream or milk
½ tsp vanilla
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
⬇️ How to make Fig Newtons (Copycat) ⬇️
0:10 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
0:13 Dice the figs and soak them in apple juice, salt, and lemon juice mixture for 1 hour.
0:40 Cook the ingredients in a pot on medium heat until a thin, jam-like consistency is achieved. Set aside to cool, then transfer to a pastry bag.
1:08 In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and light brown sugar until fluffy. Then, beat in the egg, milk/cream, and vanilla. You may do this on a stand mixer, food processor, or by hand.
1:37 Add the dry ingredients and mix well until fully incorporated. Form it into a dough ball and wrap using plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for 1 hour to set.
2:16 Take the dough out of the fridge and divide it into 6 portions.
2:27 Form each portion into a log. In between two sheets of parchment paper, use a rolling pin and flatten to ⅛ inch rectangles, about 10 inches long and 4 inches wide. Cut off excess dough to achieve these dimensions.
2:58 Pipe a straight line of fig filling in the middle of the rectangular dough sheet. Using the parchment paper as leverage, lift one side of the dough to cover the filling. Gently flatten the dough, and do the same on the other side until the fig filling is fully covered. The end result should be a flattened rectangular log. Repeat until all six dough portions are used up. You might need to refrigerate the other pieces of dough while doing this.
3:18 Cut the cookie logs into 2-inch squares and lay them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
3:34 Bake the fig newtons in the middle rack for 10 to 15 minutes or until the bottom crust is golden brown.
3:40 Let the fig cookies rest for 5 minutes. After that, transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store the cookies in an airtight container lined with a paper towel at the bottom and on top.

They look very appetizing, thanks for the recipe.

Lovely. A bit different but looks nice because you omitted egg whites using whole wheat and a bit of milk to retain moisture but.. Why not set it aside in the fridge? Does it get too solid? A lady chilled it then brought it out abd waited for about 15 minutes before she started working with it.
I’m about to maje my very first fig rolls ahd watching many recipes trying to learn a thing here and there. Yours by far caught my attention because you used whole wheat. This flour somehow not only keeps baked goods moist but brings around flavors when it would not serve itself good as bread. 😂 I don’t like the taste of brown bread/toast but definitely anything else with brown flour. 👍🏻 🤔 What will I use leftover egg whites for?

Your dough looks like it warmed up and was wetter. Should I let the dough sit out before rolling ?

[@hana.the.writer5074]

Chill it in the fridge.. then wait fir about 10 minutes to loosen up a bit so you could work with it, easily.

I have a pile of filling left over and no more crust dough.

[@hana.the.writer5074]

Turn it into jam. Or, add more dried fruit to it, coarse nuts and roll it into a tube over sesame seed or coarse pistachios or coconut, wrap well abd chill then cut to slices. 🙌🏻

These were good but my dough wasn’t enough. And also my dough didn’t roll as well as yours did.
