One of my favorite cookies from my childhood is Fig Newtons. I am not sure why, maybe because they are not super sweet. I do really like the texture of them. I was asked by Just Jans to sample some of their products. I was really excited about the Fig jam, because I knew exactly what I wanted to make with them and that was Fig Newtons. I decided to make them into bars, because it would be so much easier to do with the same flavor and texture.

Happy Baking ????
