So I am not silly enough to think that I have enticed all of you with this post, but I do know if you are a lover of figs like I am, you are very interested. There is not a real fine line with figs... you usually love them or are scared of them, at least in their raw form. I myself very much look forward to this time of year when figs are in the grocery stores and are reasonably priced. I found this recipe a long time ago in some sort of health magazine. They pitched these little breakfast cookies as a great snack or breakfast after a good run or workout. Now I have to admit I made these for breakfast this week and I have no intention of going on a good long run before I have one. However, they are a healthier version of one of my favorite muffins. And back to those of you who are not a fan of figs, I would still encourage you to try this cookie because they are not overly figgy (yes, I said figgy), but the fruit adds great natural sugar. The bites of sweet fig and tangy cranberry make this cookie such a perfect breakfast treat.
