Ingredients
  • ½ cup California Dried Plums (10-12)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ water
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine California dried plums, butter, and water. Blend until you've reached a puree (don't worry if there are some flecks of the dried plum skin).
  3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in sugar, vanilla extract, and an egg until well combined.
  4. Add in flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just incorporated.
  5. Chop the chocolate chips slightly so they distribute well in the dough, and add them into the bowl and mix.
  6. On 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicon baking mats, form 24 heaping tablespoon-sized cookies. Flatten them with a fork if you prefer flatter cookies since they will not spread.
  7. Bake for around 8 minutes for gooey, soft cookies (add 1-2 minutes if desired).
  8. Remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before enjoying.
