My dad loves the packaged fig bars that you can buy in the cookie aisle. I always thought they were dry and boring and just a waste of calories. That's why I was so excited to find this recipe and make it for him when he came to visit. The results were yummy... moist, flavorful, and just fabulous. It took a bit of effort - the dough is quite sticky but it is worth it. Be sure to use greased parchment to smooth/roll out the dough.
