Directions
Dough
Beat butter with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add agave and blend well. Add honey, vanilla, and egg; blend well.
Combine dry ingredients in medium sized bowl. Add flour mixture to butter mixture just until moist. Do not over mix.
Divide dough in half. Place each one half into large zipper bag and form into approximate flat 9x9 square.
Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Filling
Place figs and orange rind into processor with metal blade. Process until minced. Add agave, honey, and orange juice; puree until smooth and thick.
Assembly & Baking
Preheat oven to 375F. Line a 9x9 ovenproof pan with parchment paper.
Place one square of dough onto parchment and, with fingers, evenly cover bottom of pan with dough. Spread fig mixture evenly over dough. Lay second dough square on top of filling.
Whisk egg and 2 Tbsp of water. Brush just enough to evenly cover top of dough.
Bake until golden, about 30 minutes.
While cooling on a rack, combine remaining 2 Tbsp. water with 2 Tbsp. agave. Brush baked top with agave glaze.
Once completely cooled, transfer square to a cutting board and cut into bars using a heavy knife or pizza cutter.
Recipe Note
Store bars in an air tight container in a single layer or with parchment paper between layers.
