Fig Thumbprint Cookies

• Cookie:
• 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Fig Filling:
• 1/2 pound fresh figs
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Mix flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
3. Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat eggs in, one at a time, until combined; stir in vanilla extract. Fold in flour mixture until well blended.
4. Combine figs, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a food processor; pulse until smooth. Stir in lemon juice until filling is slightly thinner than jam.
5. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place on a non-stick baking sheet. Make thumbprints in batter with a wet finger. Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling into each thumbprint.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
