I made three changes because of my family's preferences but the core recipe was stellar. Change #1: No one likes fig ANYTHING in my home, so I used Smucker's All Fruit Spread in Apricot. The marriage of the orange and lemon zest suggested a nice marriage with apricot; I used a pure fruit spread because jam or jelly would have leaked out of the cookie. #2: Because of the apricot, I used almond vs. vanilla extract. #3: Once the cookies were cool, I melted dark chocolate chips and shortening and drizzled a thin stream over the cooled cookies. This combination was insane and my family begged me to make them again, this coming weekend. Secretly, I'll make the fig version for myself. ;)

Needed a quick cookie for a work luncheon and liked the looks of these. Boy, were they a hit! The citrus and fig combination is great. Everyone wanted the recipe, a first for me.
