Turkish Fig and Walnut Cookies that are wonderfully chewy, nutty and yummy. No chilling is required and so easy to make.
I tried the recipe last week and here is the result. These cookies are crispy outside but softer inside. When you touch one of them, you think it’s as hard as stone but when you have a bite, you see it’s not. Figs inside made it softer and as I love to eat figs and walnuts together, these cookies were perfect for me.
30 cookies came out of these measurements, but I could keep them for 4 days. They were still so yummy on the last day. But I must warn you; these are so addictive! I made some of them big and some of them as small as marbles. I couldn’t take photo of the small cookies as we ate them all in that evening and night with various people.

How To Make Fig Walnut Cookies
- First, preheat the oven at 180C/350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and put it aside.
- Second, mix all the ingredients except flour with your hands. Add in the flour and combine them well.
- Third, shape them in your palms. Their size is up to you. Flatten them a bit by gently pressing on each. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake them until they’re golden, about 20 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes more after taking them out of oven. Then take them on a cooling rack.
- You can keep these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.

This sounds like such a good snack, I think I will try these out too.
I love figs, but apart from Fig Newtons - a store bought snack have not had them in cookies. These sound like such a treat. I now need to try your recipe. I cannot wait.
I'm going to be teaching a class at the university this fall, and am so excited. I've always wanted to try teaching - I've been spending a lot of time this week on my syllabus. Phew! You have my utmost respect, but then you always did.
I love figs but I somehow rarely remember to buy them. These cookies sound fabulous, though, so I'll be bookmarking this recipe for the next time I manage to have dried figs in the house!
I have never tried figs in cookies but these look very delicious. Would love to try one day. Thanks for sharing.
I use to be a teacher myself...so I know exactly how you feel! What a great recipe, I can't wait to give it a try.
Walnuts and figs are a delicious combination. These cookies sound perfect -- I love cookies that are crunchy on the outside and soft inside.
Yum!!! The only time I usually eat figs is in cookies. So these are right up my alley.
