# List of Ingredients:

01 - 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

02 - 1 cup all-purpose flour

03 - 1/2 tsp baking soda

04 - 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

05 - 1/4 tsp salt

06 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

07 - 1/3 cup honey

08 - 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed

09 - 1 large egg

10 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

11 - 3/4 cup dried figs, chopped

12 - 1/2 cup raisins

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well blended.

03 - In a large bowl, beat softened butter, honey, and brown sugar until creamy and fully combined.

04 - Add egg and vanilla extract to butter mixture. Beat until smooth and incorporated.

05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until flour disappears. Do not overmix.

06 - Gently fold chopped figs and raisins into dough until evenly distributed.

07 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

08 - Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers appear set.

09 - Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

01 -

The texture walkway between crisp edges and chewy centers is absolutely perfect
Honey adds this floral sweetness that pairs beautifully with the earthy figs
They actually taste like they took hours to make but come together in under 40 minutes

02 -

Underbaking slightly is better than overbaking since these continue cooking on the hot sheet
Chopping figs into smaller pieces prevents them from creating air pockets in the dough
Honey makes cookies brown faster so trust your timer over your eyes

03 -

Chill the dough for 30 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent spreading too much
Use fresh figs when they are in season and skip the drying step entirely
