WINNER: Your Best Holiday Cookie.
★★★☆☆
Review: Overall these cookies were good. I enjoyed the texture and two of my friends who "love figs" (KS & EH), thought these were delicious. As far as homemade cookies go I thought the recipe was pretty involved.
For the icing, we did not have any brandy on hand so my husband suggested using the Greek specialty Metaxa. Metaxa is a blend of brandy and wine. The icing was very sweet and good.

Tips:
- I had to put the dough in the freezer for a few minutes because it was very sticky. I had to use a lot of flour to roll the dough in.
- I would dice the figs very small. I think mine were too big.
- I like more of a sweet cookie so I was generous with my icing "drizzle".
What I learned: Metaxa was the first alcohol consumed in space.

Final Thoughts: I am more of a chocolate lover so I won't be adding these to my yearly line up. But, if you like figs and cookies that aren't too sweet, these are for you!
