How to Make Hazelnut Fig Twists

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped hazelnuts and chopped figs.
  7. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  8. Cut the dough into 2-inch wide strips.
  9. Twist each strip twice and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the twists cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Drizzle with melted chocolate (optional) and enjoy!
