It contains almost no sugar in the cookie itself, only a little bit in the dough. That's because of the sweet filling. The filling contains figs, candied orange peel, apricots, almonds, cinnamon and dark rum.
That combination means it only can be very tasty.
Though it seems like a difficult recipe when I looked at the picture, it's quite easy though. You can make the cookies, if you've got all the ingredients in about 1 hour at most.
And then the taste. After you bake them you sprinkle powdered sugar on top. The powdered sugar melt at your tongue when you bite. Then it gets a crispy bite and the sweetness of the fig melange.
Yes this was a really nice cookie. I think this would be great during Christmas with all those flavours and I probably going to make it around that time again.
The recipe is on page 318 in the book Baking with Julia from Dorie Greenspan. If you would like to know what the others made of it you can take a look at:

Your cookies look lovely. I did not care for them much (I really was hoping too!), at least the boys at the shop did, so they did not go to waste. :)
I thought that they tasted like Christmas too. Did not sprinkle mine with sugar so that left them a little plainer.
@cahtleen, good you find another person who liked it, I don't want food to go to waste either. @smarkies are you going to try them with sugar or are they all gone by now?
So pretty! Beautiful job
And now, I just realized that I forgot to use the powdered sugar.
Gorgeous photo! We liked these so much I'm thinking about making them for Christmas. :-)
Yours look great! I enjoyed making these.
@cher Perhaps you can add it (or are they all gone by now). Thanks saucygander and Nicole L. they are indeed great for christmas.
They look so nice with the powdered sugar. (that's what I forgot!!) They were easy cookies...though time consuming. I really liked them and will make them again.
I am so impressed that you made this in an hour! It took me several. I am very slow in the kitchen...I'm glad you enjoyed this one!
