I also made this choice because I wanted to add some liquid to the jam mix in the form of tea. I realize that fresh figs are currently in season, but because I wanted to create a recipe that one could make all year round, I decided to use dried ones. Inspired by the fabulous fig jam I made a couple years ago, I thought I would revisit the awesomeness and try to use it in a cookie form. Kids, you are really missing out, but that is fine.
Not-too-sweet and so complimentary to afternoon tea. Deep, dark, figgy jam filling and soft pastry. I mean, have you tasted these things?! They are delicious.
Vegan fig newton recipe full#
If you were to put me in front of a dessert buffet full of overly sweet, cheesecakes, ice cream, and brownies nowadays, I might actually reach for the Newton. But oh, how I loathed them! What could be worse than mysterious, brown fruit goo wrapped up in flavourless, dry “cake”? Yea, right. That’s not a treat, it’s a healthy breakfast disguised as a cookie, and for that I resented them.īut funny how things change. Dessert is supposed to be sweet, loaded with chocolate and sprinkles, and icing all over, right? For me, Fig Newtons were the loser cookie – the one I would only eat out of pure desperation if there was nothing else resembling dessert in sight. I believe there are a few foods adults eat that confuse the dickens out of each and every child: olives, oysters and Fig Newtons.
