Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams light brown sugar
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 70 grams bran cereal
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 100 grams dried figs, chopped
• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, beating until well incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and bran cereal until evenly combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add the milk in small increments and mix until the cookie dough holds together.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped dried figs, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
