Desert sand cookies

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 180 g flour
• 150 g butter, warmed

• 1 egg(s)

• 1 pinch of salt

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 12 minutes; Total time approx. 22 minutes

Sandy and juicy

Grind the nuts together with the dried figs in a food processor. Blend the remaining dough ingredients with a mixer, then fold in the nut and fig mixture. Preheat the oven to 175°C (top/bottom heat). Form the dough into approximately 2 cm balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, leaving enough space between them (approx. 12 on one sheet; the dough will serve about 3 sheets). Bake in the oven for approximately 10-12 minutes, taking care not to overcook. Then let them cool on a wire rack. The cookies have a fruity, moist, and sandy flavor. The sandy texture comes from the nut pieces, fig kernels, and brown sugar. The cookies can be stored fresh for a long time in a cookie tin.
