Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup chopped raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped figs

Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar together.
2. Add the water to the mixture and stir until well combined.
3. Stir in the chopped raisins and chopped figs, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Transfer the mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it thickens. Be careful not to burn the mixture, so stir continuously.
5. Once the mixture thickens to a desired consistency, remove it from the heat and set it aside to cool.

Cookies:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips

Marshmallow Filling:
- Prepared marshmallow mixture (from earlier)

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) into the wet ingredients (butter mixture), mixing until just combined.
6. Stir in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
7. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them for spreading.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
9. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool them on a wire rack.

Assembly:
1. Once the cookies are completely cooled, take one cookie and spoon a dollop of the prepared marshmallow mixture onto the flat side of the cookie.
2. Take another cookie and press it gently on top of the marshmallow to create a sandwich.
3. Repeat the process with the remaining cookies and marshmallow filling.
4. Allow the marshmallow cookies to set for a few hours or overnight so that the marshmallow filling can firm up.

Serve and Enjoy!
Now that your delicious marshmallow cookies are ready, indulge in the soft and gooey texture that perfectly complements the sweet and buttery cookies. These treats are best enjoyed with a hot cup of tea or a glass of cold milk.
