Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-Ins
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried figs
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in chopped dried figs and dark chocolate chunks.
Baking
  1. Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  2. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  3. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For variation, try using dried apricots or cranberries instead of figs, or add nuts for extra texture. Store in an airtight container for 3-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
