An upgrade to that familiar cookie ...the fig newton. These aren't chewy. Or super sweet. They are basically the most delicious shortbread style cookies that just happen to be graced with a dollop of fig spread. And just for good measure, they are laced with fragrant fresh rosemary. The inspiration for this comes from a recipe from an old BHG issue. In the original, they topped each cookie with orange marmalade. That sounds pretty good, too. We just happen to be huge fans of the fig in my household. But …hmmm. Might have to try that orange marmalade next time.
