Holy mackerel! These are fantastic! I love oatmeal cookies and was looking for a change from the regular variety. Per other reviewers I cut the sugar (2/3 c white and 3/4 c brown), added a splash of vanilla and 3/4 c or so of chopped pecans. Also, I don't have anything but real butter in my house so I used that instead of margarine. I am blown away! Will make again and again!

I have to say, for how excited I was to make these, they were one of the more disappointing things I've ever tried. For one thing, they took nearly 20 minutes and still came out half burnt and half rubber, even rotating the pan AND the figs. Apparently if you use half decent bacon this recipe doesn't work? There was no clear definition of flavors; you couldn't taste anything, it was just muddy. I have made a similar app using sliced grilled brats in place of the bacon, finishing the whole thing on the grill, and it comes out fantastic. I will definitely be going back to that recipe.

Wonderful! I made it exactly as written except instead of only 2T of shallots I used half an onion minced. We like onion and I think it gave it more texture. Will make again!
