How can this be adapted for fresh figs? Also, non liquid sweetner. I don’t have liquid allulose!

Thank you,

In reply to Amy. Sure, as I explained above in the post and gave the carb counts for dried versus fresh, often, unless in season, many can't find fresh figs at the grocery store, but yes they can be used.

In reply to Debbie K. Could you use all fresh figs?

I made these because I used to love fig newton cookies. I came across your recipe and was so excited that I could have a low carb version. I made the dough following the recipe exactly but it just didn’t work. I even left the dough overnight in the fridge because it was so soft. It was still way too soft and stuck to the parchment. I had to scrape it off. Not to be discouraged, I added another ½ cup almond flour to the dough. I then shaped each piece in more of a log shape and put it back in the fridge for about 30 minutes. I also oiled my parchment paper, used my hands to press out the dough until it was close to the size I wanted. I then placed an oiled piece of parchment on top of the dough and rolled it very lightly to smooth it out. It worked great. The dough is still very delicate so you do need a light hand, but it worked. Having said all of that, the flavor of these cookies is WONDERFUL! I was not disappointed. The minute the filling hit my taste buds it brought back so many memories. Yum!! I will absolutely be making these again and they’ll be a cherished addition to my Christmas cookie trays. Thanks so much for a great recipe!

Could macadamia be substituted for the walnuts? I’m allergic to pecans & walnuts.
