I liked this toni. I gave it a 4 only because I was expecting more of a bar cookie. They were more like a dense spice cake. I agree with the changes Susie suggested above. Will try again with just a few modifications! Thanks Toni!! -
This one really intrigued me as I love Fig Newtons but not the calories & fat. It's surprisingly moist but not figgie enough for my taste. I hadn't planned on making the icing but did for added flavor. Changes I would make - add maple flavoring to the cake as well as the icing, double the amount of figs & perhaps bake in a larger pan to give a bar cookie appearance. This is defintely a recipe I'll keep & tinker with till I get my very own Fig Newtons! Thanks so much for posting this! -
These are very good. I like how they aren't too thick.

<p>I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and doing my best to hold up that tradition. My great-grandparents owned a coffee shop; my Nana was also a great cook and started the tradition of baking around the holidays, both cookies and fruitcakes. After she died, now a decade ago, our family decided to continue in her honor. The picture above is my mother's (Chef Hot Pans) dining room table just before we packed up our Christmas cookie trays. More that 20 kinds of cookies, many of which are from 'Zaar recipes. <br /> <br />I myself am an amateur cook with a penchant for ethnic foods and spice. Currently reforming my menu in favor of healthy dishes lower in fat with lots of grains and vegetables. My favorite cuisines are Mexican, Southwestern and North African. <br /> <br /> <br />Some of my favorite public cookbooks include:</p>
