How to Make Chocolate Plum Thumbprints

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup dried plums, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until plums are softened.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup chopped walnuts and 1/2 cup chocolate morsels.
  5. Set aside to cool slightly.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  9. Stir in 1/2 cup milk and 1 cup rolled oats.
  10. Roll the dough into 1 1/4-inch balls.
  11. Place the balls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  12. Use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each ball.
  13. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
  14. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cooled plum mixture into the center of each cookie.
  15. Bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  16. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
