Figgie Rawtons

Here’s raw version of one of my favorite cookies, the Fig Newton. I used dried figs for this recipe, as well as lucuma powder. This recipe is not too difficult to make, and super yummy! Here it is:

Outside cookie base.

Assembly Preparation:

Spread Figgie mixture over top of rolled out cookie dough, only covering 1/2 the rectangle. Spread evenly. Fold the other side over forming a large square-like sandwich. Lightly press down.
