Nabisco Fig Newtons | Chewy Fig Cookies
We've been baking Nabisco Fig Newtons since 1891, and our original recipe remains a favorite for families who want a snack that tastes good and feels good. Each soft cookie wraps a thick layer of real fig filling in our signature chewy cake, creating the perfect balance of fruit and pastry in every bite.
Our Fig Newtons contain no high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, or artificial colors. We source real figs to deliver authentic fruit flavor and natural sweetness, making them an ideal choice for lunchboxes, afternoon snacks, or any time you crave something satisfying without the guilt.
What makes Fig Newtons special
Real fig filling & wholesome ingredients
Every Nabisco Fig Newton starts with real figs that we blend into a smooth, naturally sweet filling. We’ve never used fig-flavored paste or artificial substitutes—just genuine fruit that delivers the authentic taste families have trusted for over 130 years.
Our cookie cake wraps around that filling with a recipe built on wheat flour, sugar, and canola oil. We keep the ingredient list straightforward and avoid high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, and artificial colors. The result is a snack that parents feel good about serving and kids actually want to eat, whether paired with our classic animal crackers for variety or enjoyed on its own.
Package size & serving information
We package our Fig Newtons in a 10 oz tray that contains multiple individually wrapped twin packs. This format makes portion control easy—each pack holds exactly two cookies, the perfect serving size for a quick snack or dessert.
The resealable tray keeps unused packs fresh for weeks when stored in a cool, dry place. You don’t need to refrigerate Fig Newtons, though some families prefer them slightly chilled for a firmer texture during summer months. Room temperature storage maintains the ideal soft, chewy consistency we’re known for.
Flavor varieties beyond original
While our original fig recipe remains the bestseller, we also bake Fig Newtons in raspberry, strawberry, and blueberry varieties. Each flavor follows the same formula—real fruit filling wrapped in our soft cookie cake—but with different fruit bases to match your preferences.
Our Whole Grain Fig Newtons swap in 100% whole grain flour for customers seeking extra fiber and nutrients. The taste stays remarkably close to the original while delivering more whole grain goodness per serving. We also offer a Fat Free variety for those monitoring fat intake, though many fans prefer the classic recipe’s richer texture.

Yes, Nabisco Fig Newtons carry kosher certification marked by the OU symbol on every package. Our ingredients and manufacturing processes meet the strict standards required for kosher designation.
This certification makes Fig Newtons suitable for Jewish households observing kosher dietary laws, as well as anyone seeking products that meet these quality and preparation standards.
When stored in the resealable tray at room temperature, Fig Newtons stay fresh for several weeks after opening. Keep the package closed between servings and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight.
The soft, chewy texture is best maintained when you seal the tray properly after each use. If cookies do become slightly firm over time, warming them for a few seconds in the microwave can restore the original texture.
Fig Newtons contain wheat and soy ingredients, making them unsuitable for anyone avoiding gluten or soy allergens. We manufacture them in a facility that also processes milk, eggs, and tree nuts, so trace amounts of these allergens may be present due to shared equipment.
If you have severe food allergies, please review the complete allergen statement printed on our packaging before consuming. We update this information regularly to reflect our current production practices.
We offer Fig Newtons in multiple package sizes, including standard 10 oz trays and larger multi-pack boxes for families who go through them quickly. Some retailers also carry variety packs that include original fig along with our raspberry, strawberry, or whole grain versions.
Bulk options vary by store and region, but most grocery chains stock at least the standard size year-round in the cookie aisle. Check with your local retailer for availability of larger formats or variety packs.
