Fresh figs are used to make a delicious, moist cookie. You can’t just eat one because they are that amazing. These freeze well as well.

Ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup butter-flavored shortening (such as Crisco®)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ¼ teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ cups chopped fresh figs
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
- Cream sugar, shortening, and vanilla together in a mixing bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until blended; mixture will be a little dry. Stir in figs and walnuts; mixture will get added moisture from the figs. Use a medium cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges start to brown, 12 to 13 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat to scoop and bake remaining batches.

Reviews
I substituted real butter for the butter flavored Crisco, and only had 1 teaspoon of ground cloves on hand, which still gave the cookies plenty of clove flavor. Very nice and moist cookies. Will definitely make again!
