Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 Cup Chopped pecans
  • 1 Cup Chopped dried fig
  • 1 1⁄4 Cup2 Old fashioned oats
  • 6 Tbsp. Unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1⁄2 Cups Light brown sugar
  • 1 Large egg
  • 2 Tsp. Pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1⁄4 Cups All-purpose flour
  • 3⁄4 Tsp. Baking powder
  • 1⁄2 Tsp. Baking soda
  • 1⁄2 Tsp. Salt
  • 1⁄2 Tsp. Cinnamon
  • 1/8 Tsp. Freshly ground nutmeg
  • Cooking Spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat, foil or parchment paper to make clean up a breeze.
  • Toast the pecans in a skillet over medium heat until slightly browned and fragrant.
  • Chop the nuts and add to a mixing bowl with the rolled oats and the chopped figs. Stir together and set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, add softened butter and brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue beating until thoroughly combined.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture until well incorporated. Stir in the nut, oat and fig mixture and fold the mix into the the rest of the batter until evenly distributed. Give the mixture a final stir with a spatula, scraping the side and bottom of the bowl.
  • Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup to portion the cookie dough, place the scoops of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.  This will keep them from spreading into each other.
  • Bake for 16 – 20 minutes until lightly browned, fragrant and cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then remove them to cool completely on a rack. Enjoy!
