YAY YAY YAY! Thanks for letting us know. I am just loving experimenting with coconut oil for all kinds of things – cooking and baking and as an eye makeup remover and as eye wrinkle cream (LOL!)
Isn’t just the best stuff? Who can beat a food product and beauty product all in one jar 🙂 lol!
TOTALLY!!! Hubby says I smell like a “donut” (there are worse things to smell like – that’s for sure!)
These were AMAZING! I sub.the margarine for coconut oil and it worked out well! Makes a nice healthy option.
I love pecans too! Thanks so much for commenting and letting us know you loved!
Ok thanks so much for the feedback – I really appreciate it — will make a note in the recipe.
Delicious cookies; love them. I did substitute pecans for the walnuts since my husband will not go near anything made with walnuts.
These cookies were good. If I were to make them again I would probably cut the fig pieces a little bit smaller than I did and maybe that should be qualified a bit better in the recipe.
