Fig Cranberry Walnut Cookies

Made these cookies yesterday and they turned out great! They are perfect for breakfast and go well with tea. One thing I love about this cookie dough is that is isn't too touchy or difficult. Small adjustments don't make too much of a difference. Plus they are gluten-free!
