Today I'm grateful for fig newtons in whatever brand and flavor they come in. They are welcome as part of a light breakfast, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a late-night sweet stoner munchie. They tickle the childish nostalgia while helping maintain an adult fiction of relative health.

@emsquared @wendinoakland Yes, Fig Newtons is the name of a commercial variety in the United States. It's named after Newton, Massachusetts. I gather the company (the Kennedy Biscuit Company, now NABISCO) just chose a town near Boston as the name. #FigNewtons #FigRolls
@emsquared Well, I had to look up "fig rolls" but the answer seems to be "yes," but perhaps the shape of Fig Newtons is flatter (better for boxing?). I see that Paul Hollywood's recipe calls for ginger ... and I'm definitely trying that next. #FigRolls #FigNewtons #figs #baking #cookies #biscuits https://thegreatbritishbakeoff.co.uk/recipes/all/paul-hollywood-fig-rolls/

@PacificNic If you'd like to give it a go, I used the Fig Newton recipe at Serious Eats. I looked at a dozen or so and it seemed to be the best. #fig #figs #cookies #FigNewtons #baking #recipe https://www.seriouseats.com/homemade-fig-newtons-recipe
Homemade Fig Newtons Recipe

As Nabisco likes to remind us, Fig Newtons aren't just cookies, they're fruit and cake. Our homemade version pairs an easy fig preserve with a soft dough inspired by yellow cake.
