Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Dried figs, chopped
• 0.5 cup Walnuts, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set the dry mixture aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, maple syrup, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients, and beat until combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.

Step 6

Using a spatula, fold in the chopped dried figs and optional walnuts until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each cookie with your fingers or the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, which is okay.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
