Salted Oatmeal Fig Cookies

Some people love raisins and some people hate raisins. If you are one of those people who hates raisins, these cookies are for you! If you love raisins (like I do), you will still very much enjoy this twist on the classic and cozy oatmeal raisin cookie. This cookie smells incredible while its baking and makes you want to cozy up on the couch with a cup of hot tea, a book and a fresh baked cookie (or two). I love the natural sweetness and chewiness the dried figs provide, while the oats add a heartiness to the cookie. The ingredients are clean, simple and very breakfast like – so go ahead, eat a cookie for breakfast!
