Step 3: Add to the food processor and mix until just mostly combined.Lightly flour your counter and turn the dough out. Work the dough together by hand until everything is combined. This is where you may need to sprinkle a little extra flour as you go. Form the dough into a ball and allow to rest for a few minutes.While the dough is resting you can go ahead and make the filling. Into a clean food processor add the almonds and figs. Pulse until roughly chopped.

Step 5: Cut the ball of dough into 6-8 pieces.

Step 6: Roll each piece into a smaller ball then lightly press down one small ball at a time on a floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a strip about 1- 1 1/2 inches wide and a 1/4 inch thick.

Step 9: Bake for 14 mins or until just lightly golden. Cool completely.To make the glaze mix together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract in a small bowl.Once the cookies are cooled go ahead and put them all onto a large cookie sheet so the cookies are touching. Working in small sections because the glaze dries quickly, drizzle the glaze over each cookie and sprinkle with those fun nonpareils. Pop into a fridge for 10 minutes to harden completely.{If you are making these ahead of time, once the drizzle is hardened you can place into a freezer bag to freeze.
