How To Make fig & almond cookies

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk eggs, cold water and vanilla until blended. Place flour, confectioners' sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add butter; pulse until crumbly. While pulsing, add egg mixture just until combined. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to roll.

Step 2

Wipe food processor clean. Add figs and almonds; pulse until chopped. Add preserves and juice; pulse until combined. Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough into a 10x8-in. rectangle; cut each lengthwise into four 2-in.-wide strips. Spread about 2 tablespoons filling down center of each strip. Fold dough over filling; pinch edges to seal. Roll each gently to shape into a log; cut crosswise into 1-in. pieces.
Step 3

Place 1 in. apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. In a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Let stand until set.
