Directions
Fig Newtons (Homemade),Make your own version of these tasty cake/cookies,A recipe I read long ago and have since lost, had a great idea. It said, after shaping the cookie, rest it on the handle of a wooden spoon, to get that unique shape, of the slight curve in the original, store bought type. I don’t remember if they were just chilled on the wooden spoon or actually baked on it. Or, it might even have been, placed on the spoon after baking to cool and that made the shape…,I loved Fig newtons as a kid so I was excited to try these! The taste is amazing, even better then from the box, but the dough was a little hard to work with. I found it easier to press the dough into the pan, then smear the jam on leaving a 1/2 inch border, and then pressing the other half on top, just make sure to seal the edges all around!
