Notes
I used this fig and walnut butter, because the recipe called for making your own with added sugar. This walnut butter has Cane sugar and Fig paste with orange and lemon juice.
Why did I add pea flour to all my recipes? Because it makes a nice smooth dough not crumbly.
I don't worry about calories. Eating compliant flours and healthy figs and walnuts, may help you feel full.
I thought I took a picture of the strips, however, I cannot find them now. I am so sorry the pictures did not show up. Using a spatula to turn the dough helped, the first cookies were quite messy.
