I had been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from both my original cookbook which many of you have, and additional accumulated recipes that never got published. This isn’t the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. These recipes are comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Fresh Fig Cookies

1 cup sugar
½ cup softened unsalted butter
1 egg, beaten
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup fresh figs, chopped
½ cup walnuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, cream sugar and butter and add beaten egg. In a separate bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Blend into sugar mixture at low speed. Use a spatula to fold in figs and nuts. Drop dough by spoonfuls on greased baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container in the pantry for up to a week. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
