Ingredients

2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
½ cup unsalted butter
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ pound fresh figs
⅓ cup honey
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat eggs in, one at a time, until combined; stir in vanilla extract. Fold in flour mixture until well blended.
Combine figs, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a food processor; pulse until smooth. Stir in lemon juice until filling is slightly thinner than jam.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place on a non-stick baking sheet. Make thumbprints in batter with a wet finger. Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling into each thumbprint.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
