On my last trip to Toscano & Sons, the wonderful Italian market located in the Virginia Highlands, I left with a jar of sweet fig jam flavored with oranges.  Wanting to make something exceptional with this fig jam I searched online for the perfect small bite.  I came across a unique hors d’oeuvre involving fig jam and the distinct taste of blue cheese.  A thumbprint-like, savory cookie that is buttery and crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth irresistible.  Simple yet quality ingredients that come together to create an unforgettable nibble that pairs nicely cocktail hour and conversation.
