Oh wow these were good!!! They taste just like fig newtons, but better! The filling is a perfect figgy compote. The dough is tender and sweet and, well, perfect. I love them!
They aren't the easiest things to make, but they are well worth the effort. The dough is simple enough and the compote isn't too hard (though not easy either). The hard part is when you compile them. You can't add too much compote or the dough won't wrap around it all the way, but if you add too little they don't end up full enough. Plus the dough cracks a bit when you wrap it around the fig compote, which makes things harder. You also have to cut them at the right time after they come out of the oven--if they are too hot they'll break, if they're too cool they'll be too hard.
Have I mentioned that they are great and that I love them? Yes, I have. Ah well, they were just that good!
