I recently had a conversation on Twitter about sugars and to what extent certain sugars were refined and therefore processed. In my recipes you can see that I usually use agave syrup or coconut blossom sugar. Despite the many positive stories, agave syrup is a considerably processed product and if you can omit it from recipes I would certainly do that. For me, coconut blossom sugar is 1 when it comes to sugar substitutes, because it is almost unprocessed and contains many minerals.

The taste is just not as sweet as, for example, agave syrup or normal sugars, so sometimes I fall back on some agave syrup. But where is possible, I omit the extra sugars and that is why I think this is really nice cookies. Try them out and, if necessary, add some extra figs or a scoop of coconut blossom sugar. Enjoy it!
