Cookies with figs and nuts
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. Preheat the oven to 160°C. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and anise. In another bowl, beat the eggs and add orange zest. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture. Add figs and nuts. Lightly spray baking sheets with cooking oil. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a 6 cm thick rectangle. Bake for about 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 150°C. Cut each rectangle diagonally into slices. Place the slices cut-side up on the baking sheets. Bake for 7 minutes, flip, then bake for another 7 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
