Dont know what I did wrong but didnt come out like a biscuit at all. More of a cakish slice. Very yummy, I didnt bother with the whole jam thing just put a heap of fresh figs in the processor and chopped them. Would def make again, will try using stewd apples as well. YUM - 30 Mar 2017

I used the fig preserve recipe and blended it so that it would come out more like the newtons we know and love. The instructions were a bit confusing but the taste was incredible. I would recommend cutting them in to bars before the cookie part hardens. - 01 Aug 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
