I love Fig Newtons…especially with vanilla ice cream. I made fig puree when Dallas was brimming with figs and used apple juice to keep it neutral flavored, but I think the orange juice would add a great component. My husband would love these, and I really appreciate the mention of quinoa flour here. It would be a good compliment to figs.

Picture me making these – if you can’t, just drop by very soon because they will be coming out of my oven.

There’s more than one flavour of Fig Newtons now?! I’ll have to check that out but I’m really looking forward to your home-made version. I always liked the little crunchy seeds in Fig Newtons. Maybe a kiwi jam would give the same effect. I have a bag of kiwis AND a round of dried figs so maybe I’ll try two kinds of this slab cookie. Thanks, Julie!

My husband also has a strong resentment of Fig Newtons, mostly because his last name is Newton and the other kids used to call him Fig!

I remember my dad loving fig newtons. I didn’t like them until i got older. Love this version, I bet they are fabulous!
