Almond Fig Cookies
A Spanish-style almond cookie studded with fresh chopped fig, lifted with lemon zest and a whisper of cinnamon, and finished with toasted almond slices pressed into the top. The dough bakes to a tender, slightly chewy crumb with a honeyed, fruity centre, echoing the almond-and-fig pantry of Andalusia and the Balearic Islands.
