the recipe is from this site. the first cookies that i made from there were delicious, so i decided to give these a try. they turned out great. there is a little work, but it's worth it. they are great with coffie.

for the dough:1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 cup cold butter or margarine
1 egg, slightly beaten
3 - 4 tablespoons milk

for the filling:30 gr mixed nuts (i used hazelnuts, almonds and walnuts)
50 gr dried figs
grated rind from 1 orange
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rum
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

in a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and ginger. cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. in a small bowl combine egg and milk. stir milk mixture into dry ingredients. turn mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly with hands until dough forms a ball. cover and chill for 30 minutes.

meanwhile, in a food processor process nuts and figs until finely chopped or chop them by hand. add orange peel. in a small bowl whisk together honey, rum and cinnamon until smooth. with food processor running, add honey mixture in a continuous stream to fig mixture, processing until mixture is combined.

divide the chilled dough into thirds. refrigerate remaining dough while working with 1 portion. dough will be soft and a bit sticky. roll dough on a well-floured work surface to about 1/16-inch thickness. cut dough with a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter. place about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon fig filling in the center of each dough round. fold each round over and press edges of dough around the filling; press with a fork to seal edges, dipping the fork in flour frequently to prevent sticking. place the cookies on greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheets.

bake in a 400°F oven about 8 - 10 minutes or until cookies are light brown around edges.

Makes about 40 cookies.
