I am glad I waited because last fall pastry wizard Stella Park’s BraveTart cookbook came out and if there is anyone that can be trusted to come up with a version as good as the original but with a more appetizing ingredient list, it is her.

In that time, I have bookmarked a dozen versions that claimed to be like the original packaged cookie but all seemed off somehow - too sweet or too wholegrain, too muddled with other flavors, not actually shaped like the original, or just so fussy, if even I couldn’t muster the motivation to make them, it didn’t bode well for talking anyone else into it. I’ve wanted to make a homemade version of fig newtons since I started this site nearly 12 years ago.

But I will stan for thick cardigans, tins of Danish butter cookies, Walkers shortbread, and Fig Newtons.

I don’t have a pocketbook full of butterscotch candies or a plastic cover on the sofa or anything, but I’m sitting on it right now and think our elders are probably onto something, especially when you have two kids with an unnatural contempt for napkins.
