Fibre rich fig cookies!;)

Fibre rich fig cookies!;)
I had baked these fig cookies today to have with my evening cup of tea. As soon as they were done, i left them outside to cool, while we had our lunch. Then after lunch , we both had one to see how it tasted & found out that these were not only delish but also very addictive!;) We ended up eating the whole batch and this was after our heavy sunday lunch! !:)) In fact i am planning to make another batch this evening!:)
Ingredients:

Almond pwd - 1/2 cup, rolled oats - 1/2 cup, all purpose flour - 1/2 cup, maple syrup - 1/4 cup, sunflower oil - 1/4 cup, salt - 1/8 tsp, fig jam - 4 tsps to 5 tsps.

Method:

Cookies ready to be baked!

Grind the rolled oats , all purpose flour, almond pwd to a coarse pwd. I just pulsed it for a few seconds in my mixie. Take the powdered ingredients in a bowl , add the salt & mix until everything is well combined. Now pour in the oil & maple syrup & stir well. Form walnut sized balls of the mixture & place them on a parchment lined baking tray. Press your thumb in the centre of each ball , make a small indentation & fill it with a little jam. Preheat the oven to 350°f . Bake for 15 to 20 mins until golden. Mine were done in 15 mins. As soon as they come out of the oven, they would be a little soft , but will harden up on cooling. Allow to cool for another 15 mins & serve!:)

Enjoy these fibre rich fig cookies fresh from the oven!;)
