My favourite cookie. Chocolate Chip, Toasted Walnut & Fig

Recipe Notes
For me, these cookies are perfect. Chewy and soft, kinda caramel-y, studded with mini chocolate chips, chopped dried figs and toasted walnut pieces (I like pecans a lot too). You could definitely use whatever combination of things you like best, but I would try it this way first. 

I like using mini chips in these. They distribute better throughout the cookie. My chips were vegan semi sweet, but I'm pretty sure I would enjoy dark chocolate chips too, or a combination of both!

I love these with chai or one of my mushroom teas. (Teecino Ashwagandha or Turkey Tail, typically). I love teas that are earthy or warmly spiced with many treats, and definitely with these nutty, figgy, chocolate chip cookies. Even better if you turn it into a tea latte. I heat unsweetened soy milk to fill my mug 1/2 way, add my tea bag, top with boiling water, then a small spoon of local honey. 

The brand of sugar I prefer to use is "Wholesome Organic". Of course, use whatever you want! 

Why I love these cookies...

• They come together in one bowl
• They are delightfully chewy
  
• They are caramel-y, chocolate-y, nutty, with bites of dried fruit
  
• The perfect treat to have with your favourite tea or coffee
  
• They feel like a "special" chocolate chip cookie and make a great gift.
