I liked this recipe as is, though I thought I would share another way to vary it -- Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies. Using this recipe, I added 1 to 1 1/2 cups of peeled, shredded apple with the oats. The juice from the apple will water the dough a good bit, so there are two options. 1) squeeze a little of the juice from the apple prior to adding to dough or 2) add enough flour (approx 1/2 cup) until the consistency returns to normal. I prefer to chill longer than an hour, maybe over night, to allow the apple to incorporate but it's not absolutely necessary to extend the chilling time. Hope you enjoy!

Not particularly a fig fan myself, I thought this was great and my family loved it even more! It's akin to a spice cake but is so heavy and moist that it's even better. We prefer cream cheese frosting but it's good either way. Great recipe.
