Tips:

We made a very rustic preparation of the fig cookies, but if you want to make more elegant cookies, you can use less filling inside the dough, then close the edges of the cookies well by overlapping the shortcrust and then flip the rectangle of dough with the jam so that the overlap of the dough is not visible.

Cut the cookies and proceed with baking as per the recipe.

P.S.: Compared to the classic almond shortcrust recipe, we did not add orange zest to the dough to better enhance the flavor of the almonds and fig jam.
