Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
Fig Filling
Egg wash made with 1 yolk and a little water

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar with the paddle attachment of an electric mixer. Add egg, 1 egg yolk, vanilla, and lemon zest; mix well. Add flour and salt; mix on low speed until dough just comes together. Wrap dough in plastic, and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Divide dough in half. Roll out one half to fit a 10-by-15-inch baking sheet. Pick up dough by wrapping it around a rolling pin, and unroll it onto baking sheet.
  • Spread fig filling evenly over pastry. Roll out remaining half of dough, and cover filling. Trim excess pastry to make a perfect rectangle. Chill for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Use a paring knife to score dough lightly into 1-by-3-inch bars. Use a fork to prick holes in each bar. Make an egg wash by combining remaining egg yolk with 1 teaspoon water. Lightly brush bars with egg wash. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cut into bars, and let cool.

These fig bars were a disappointment. The crust was tough and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't turn out well. I won't be making these again.

These fig bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They are very easy to make and the instructions are clear. I would recommend using a little less sugar in the filling next time.
