Greetings!
I am not sure that this is so much of a "lost" recipe request,
but-- I am looking for a recipe for a cookie that I had at
California Grill Restaurant in Walt Disney World a while
back. The waiter told me that it was a fig cookie but I
wouldn't swear to whatever that dollop on tip was.
In the attached picture, it's the cookie all the way to the
left aand all the way to the right; crinkly on the outside
with a dollop of something in the middle.
I've been thinking of these cookies for years! Of course
I have Googled "fig cookies" but that only brings up
recipes for Fig Newton type cookies, which this is not.
Thank you!

Hi Dianne,
I had no success finding a fig cookie recipe that gave any connection to California Grill in Walt Disney World, nor even a detailed description of them. This is what Gemini said:
Fig cookies at California Grill inside Disney's Contemporary
Resort have occasionally appeared as part of seasonal
dessert sampler platters or special brunch menus. They are
house-made pastries highlighting rich fig flavors, though
they are not a permanent or standard fixture of the primary
prix-fixe dinner menu and there is no official or
documented "Fig Cookie" recipe associated with the
restaurant.
I did find some fig "thumbprint" cookies recipes that look similar to those in your picture. You might want to try these:

Vanilla Fig Thumbprint Companies

I will post this for reader input.
