These amazing autumn biscuts are easy to make and need only a small bunch of ingredients you probably already have in your pantry!
Dried fruit, figs in this case, and crunchy nuts, are the base of these amazing fall cookies: add some cinnamon for taste and the recipe is complete.
These biscuits are said to have been born (like many, many amazing things when it comes to food and beverage) almost by mistake, when someone wanted to make some space in the kitchen and added a couple of random ingredients to a cookie base mix.
Figs and walnuts, with their earthy tastes which perfectly represent fall and its falling colorful levaes, are just an example of what these autumn cookies can be made with.
Try different ingredients, have fun, replace the figs with raisins or a different dried fruit!
The result is bound to be just as good, and you'll be able to call the biscuits your own creation!
