Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 55 min
Yield: 30 servings
Ingredients: cooking spray; 3.25 cups all-purpose flour; 2.5 teaspoons baking powder; 0.5 cup butter, softened; 0.75 cup light brown sugar; 0.25 cup white sugar; 7 egg whites, divided; 0.75 cup chocolate chips, or more to taste; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 cup chopped dried figs; 1 pinch ground cinnamon

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Step 2

Combine flour and baking powder in a bowl.

Step 3

Combine butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a separate bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in 6 egg whites, one at a time. Stir in chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth. Stir in figs with the wooden spoon.

Step 4

Divide the dough in two. Shape each half into a loaf about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the loaves 4 inches apart on the baking sheet; flatten tops slightly with your hand. Beat remaining egg white until foamy and brush over the tops. Lightly sprinkle cinnamon on the loaves after brushing on the egg white.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool, about 30 minutes.

Step 6

Lower oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 7

Cut the baked loaves into 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices using a serrated knife. Lay slices cut-side down on a baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
