Infused with Clipper Tea Organic Dextox Tea
1. Combine figs, orange oil, honey, tea, and cinnamon stick in a heavy bottomed
INGREDIENTS
1Lb dried figs chopped, stems removed 1/8 tsp. boyajian orange oil 1/4 cup honey 2 cups prepared clipper tea detox infusion 1 cinnamon stick 1 cup butter, softened 3/4 cup brown sugar 3 egg yolks 2 tsp. vanilla 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp. baking soda
saucepan. Cook on low until figs are soft and mixture is thick, 30-45 minutes. Most of the liquid should be cooked out. Remove from heat. Remove cinnamon stick from mixture and mash with a potato masher until pulpy and thick. Cool completely before using, ideally overnight.
2. Cream butter and brown sugar in the work bowl of a mixer. Add in egg yolks
and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flours, baking soda and salt. 4. Add flour mixture a cup at a time to butter mixture, beating to combine.
Shape dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight.
5. Cut disk in half; place half the dough back in the refrigerator to keep it well
chilled. On a well-floured surface, roll one half of the dough out to about a 1/4-inch thickness. Using a pizza or dough cutter, trim dough into a rectangle, then divide down the middle into two rectangles. Each should be about 3 inches wide and 8-12 inches in length.
6. Handling the dough gently, place rectangles on a parchment line cookie sheet.
Spoon cooled fig mixture down the middle of each rectangle; fold sides over to form a log, slightly pinching seam to close. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place cookie sheet in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 325°. Remove cookies and turn seam-side down. Bake cookies
15-18 minutes, or until golden brown; cool completely, and slice with a pizza or dough cutter. Enjoy with a hearty black tea or a delicate, fruity white.
