1 ¼ cups flour
½ cup unsalted butter at room temp
4 oz goat cheese
½ teaspoon salt
6 dried Turkish figs stem removed, finely minced
½ teaspoon dhukka omit if you don't have it
1 teaspoon dried pomegranate seeds (Sub 2 tablespoon dried cranberries finely minced if you prefer)

Put all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until dough comes together.
Turn out on to plastic wrap. You may need to work the dough a bit with your hands to get an even consistency. Shape into a log about 2" X 2" and 7-8" long.
Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove dough from refrigerator and slice into ¼ in slices. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake approximately 15 minutes. Watch so they don't brown.
Cool and serve. Dough can be refrigerated for a few days before baking or frozen.
