I switched to these Filled with real fig and raspberry, this Isn’t baking your own cookies SO much better than opening a package of chemistry experiments? My house should smell like heaven and my kids should be standing in front of the oven saying, “cookies done yet?”. If I am going to have a treat, I want it to taste gooooood. Basically, if you have to package a cookie, you are going to add some weird stuff (and I don't care if it is organic weird stuff). I am not going to mention the "healthier" brands that weren't that much of an improvement. I did spend some time looking around for a better alternative. Stand up to Nabisco and say, “Take your crappy tasting cookies and get out of Dodge!”
#FIG NEWTON HOW TO#
These containers are corporate experiments in how to make a product last on a shelf for the smallest amount of money – and still get us to pick them up and put them in our cart. When I stand in the supermarket’s cookie aisle, I see a wall of bright colors and shiny packages. I think the word I would like to use here is “yuck”. Maybe it is old age (approaching 45 people!) but I liked these when I was seven – now? – not so much. The taste and texture of these cookies is not what I remember. There is another big reason why you should avoid Fig Newtons. Neither of these ingredients sounds very appetizing to me and I’m pretty sure we are supposed to avoid these two compounds because they aren’t good for us. High fructose corn syrup is rearing its ugly head as is partially hydrogenated coconut oil. They still have figs but check out the rest of this list: Yes, they have figs and perhaps the Fig Newtons of the ‘70’s were less nefarious than they are now. I would beg for them in the supermarket because I knew there was NO WAY my mother would buy me Oreos. Prepare the cookie dough and prepare the fig paste.As a child, I couldn’t get enough Fig Newtons. Making the Fig Newtons is so much easier than you’d realize.
Remove allow to cool and store in a ziplock bag in the fridge. Keep an eye on them – they’ll shrink, darken and become leathery. This could last from four hours to all day. Slice your figs in half placing the cut side up. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. The fig paste tastes best and achieves the best consistency with dried figs. The fig roll was invented then mass marketed and baked…guess where? Newton, Massachusetts! They’re basically a thick pastry filled with a fig paste. Their solution was to prescribe more fruit and biscuits. Dearest’s favorite cookies are no longer called Fig Newtons but are now just called Newtons! Hmm.wonder when that happened?!īefore the 19th century, doctors believed that most illnesses were as a result of poor digestion. When I did my research I realized just how unobservant I was. After searching for different ways to prepare the cookies I decided to go the route by dehydrating the figs. The first thing to do was to prepare the figs for the filling. Well, it turned out to be much easier than I realized.
He called me sharing that the figs were ripe, did I want any? Well…of course! I have been wanting to try my hand at making homemade versions of one of Dearest’s favorite cookies.
