As with our other Aladdin inspired recipe, we decided to create a dessert recipe. However, instead of taking inspiration from the song A Friend Like Me, we were inspired by the jam scene. We used fig jam/spread because it is thematically and regionally correct. A hint of cardamom in the dough also makes you feel as though you are in Agrabah!
We hope you love our Genie’s Fig Jam Cookies! They are sure to become one of your favorite wishes! Aladdin is now available on Digital in HD, 4K Ultra HD™ and Movies Anywhere and will be available physically on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™ and DVD on Sept. 10th!
