Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
Step 2
Cream sugar, shortening, and vanilla together in a mixing bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Step 3
Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until blended; mixture will be a little dry. Stir in figs and walnuts; mixture will get added moisture from the figs. Use a medium cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until edges start to brown, 12 to 13 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat to scoop and bake remaining batches.
