Except for increasing the figs to 1 cup & the cherries to 1/3 cup, I followed this recipe & had a wonderful taste treat! Another time I MIGHT use dried cherries & see how that goes ~ as long as they don't overpower the figs! Thanks for this great recipe!

    These were very nice, soft and sweet. Pretty too. It's funny when you look at them you almost expect them to be chocolate chip cherry bars but nope! I wonder if dried cherries would also work? Thanks for the unusual recipe to try. Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.

    These came out surprisingly good! I used whole wheat flour, and instead of the cherries I used dried fruit. I'm not sure what the recipe implies, but I used fresh mission figs (not dried). The only thing I might change next time is add a little extra vanilla extract or maybe some cinnamon to the dough. Great breakfast/snack since its dough-y, almost bread-like. Thanks!
