Italian Fig Cookies

I've been wanting to make some fig cookies for us and since the wife's group(Daughter's of Isabella)are having a cookie swap I thought it would be a good time to make some and help her at the same time. On Sunday I ground up the figs, raisins and dates as well as pistashios and made the filling. After making the dough yesterday afternoon and letting it set in the fridge last night we made the cookies.
The filling rolled into logs for the cookies.
Some of the almost 250 cookies ready to bake.
Baked! They were cooled well and will be frosted and decorated this morning. The swap is this evening.
I failed to mention that they(the ladies)will share some of the cookies amongst themselves and then they each bag at least two dozen that will be brought to a homeless shelter(Ozanam Inn)tomorrow morning.
Here are some of the cookies decorated and awaiting the drying of the icing.

Might you share your filling recipe? I'm always looking for a good fig cookie filling. I have a Sicilian coworker who's fig filling is the BEST, but she won't tell me what's in it. (Though I know it's figs, dates, and some candied grapefruit peel, though I don't think her version uses pistachios.) Would love to see your version.

Looks like you're ready for the St. Joseph's Altar in March.

Those aren't cookies. They are fruit and cake.

Those look great! And a lot of work. My hat is off to you, Nate.
