Fig cookie bars

LJ received some fancy fig jam as a present over the holidays that sat on our counter for a couple of months because we were unsure what to do with it.  It was delicious but there was a lot of it so I decided to try to create homemade fig newtons with it.

I used this recipe with some success.  The cookie part of the bar wasn't quite right (I may have rolled it too thin) but using the jam as filling tasted perfect.  I'll have to keep working on the dough in the hopes that we come across another jar of jam.
