Fig and Walnut Cookies

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two baking sheets.

Step 2
Mix butter, white sugar, and brown sugar by hand in a bowl. Add egg and vanilla extract; stir to combine. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a separate bowl; stir into sugar mixture.

Step 3
Scoop the flesh out of figs and reserve 2 tablespoons. Chop figs and scooped middles. Fold chopped figs and walnuts into the cookie dough.

Step 4
Drop spoonfuls of batter on the prepared baking sheet. Top each mound with small amounts of reserved fig pulp.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until the cookie edges are lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
