Italian Fig Cookies
These Italian cookies are traditionally served during Christmas but you can enjoy them anytime!
They are filled with a sweet fig filling wrapped in a buttery cookie dough. The quickest way to fill these cookies is by rolling the dough out to a 9 x 12 inch rectangle , filling it ,making a log shape , and slicing it. I slice mine on an angle but you can also slice them straight into squares. A more involved way is to roll out the dough into individual circles, fill and fold it over and make a crescent shape. If you like you can also add chocolate chips to the filling or any other dried fruit .
