1
Preheat oven to 350F

Lightly coat baking sheets with cooking spray or line with parchment or a silpat.
3
With an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar until lightened, 1 to 2 minutes.

Add the syrup, egg and vanilla and continue to blend.
5
Sprinkle with the flour, baking soda and salt and mix just until incorporated.
6
Add the oats and figs and stir to incorporate.
7
Drop the batter onto the baking sheets by the tablespoon, 2 inches apart (cookies really spread, so leave space).
8
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden and bottoms have browned (they turn dark quickly, so keep an eye on them).
9
Let cool on sheet until crisp enough to transfer.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
