How to Make Sicilian Fig Cookies

  • The best way to work on the dough is to use Crisco instead of butter for the dough.
  • Butter can also be used if Crisco is not available.
  • Put flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in the food processor.
  • Mix them well together.
  • Add butter/Crisco pieces and pulse.
  • Add eggs and additional pulse until the dough starts getting tougher.
  • Knead the dough on a surface to smoothen it out.
  • Shape the dough into a log and wrap it in plastic, overnight.
  • Make sure it chills down well.
  • Chillier dough is easier to work with as a warmer one will be a lot stickier.
  • Remove the stems from the figs and chop into medium- sized pieces.
  • Put all other fillings into the food processor and chop them up properly.
  • Cut the log of the dough into 10 pieces (or as many as you want).
  • Fill up the middle of these pieces with the filling.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes until a light golden color is achieved.
  • Make sure you don’t apply the icing until the cookies have completely cooled down.

Make sure the frosting has a proper consistency or else it’ll melt away.
