Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Dried figs, chopped
- 0.5 cup Walnuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set the dry mixture aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, maple syrup, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients, and beat until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
Using a spatula, fold in the chopped dried figs and optional walnuts until evenly distributed.
Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each cookie with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, which is okay.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
