Oatmeal Cookie with Dried Plums and Rosemary

A few months ago the Hunger Games premiered, and the food in the movie was almost as talked about as the characters. If you’re a foodie or a food blogger,  the series is worth reading just for the food aspect.

The main character, Katniss, fell in love with lamb stew made with dried plums. Every time she ate it, I felt happy for her, as much of her life, she went hungry.

I created a recipe for that stew,  based on the two ingredients and entered it into a contest, for Stapleton’s. I won judges’s choice and part of the prize was a case of dried plums.

Beautiful dried plums, but lots of them. Not your grandmother’s jarred slimy prunes, but chewy, moist, rich dried plums.

So far, this is the first recipe I’ve made with them.  I added some chopped rosemary because the lamb stew had rosemary and I wanted to repeat the flavors a bit and make a grown-up cookie.

The proof of how good these were was their disappearance the day I took them to the pool. I almost laughed watching the kids eat one after another,  because these are high fiber cookies, not very sweet with more grown up taste.

They travel well because they don’t leave crumbs,  and there is no chocolate to melt in our southern heat. This is the cookie to take on an airplane or long car ride to keep everyone in a good mood.

Stapleton’s California Gourmet d’Agen Pitted Prunes or Dried Plums contain no preservatives or added sugar.

I didn’t have to give them a shout out, but I truly believe in their product. These are good for a quick snack, chewy, moist, and only 25 calories each.

I’m looking for some more dried plum recipes, and if you have any, please send them my way or leave a link.

Tell me have you ever won an on-line cooking contest and with what recipe?

    I made these cookies last night and they are AWESOME! Be careful though, because the instructions neglect to tell you to add the eggs in with the wet ingredients or the oatmeal to the dry ingredients. Fortunately, I bake often enough that doing so just came naturally to me. Prior to this, the only savory cookie I’d made was spiced molasses. Rosemary happens to be one of my favorite herbs and I’ll be making these again!

    This sounds so good! I just finished making this batter and realized I did not put in any oatmeal because I don’t see it in the recipe 🙂 Just for my future reference…should the oatmeal have been put in place of the whole wheat flour? I use a cup of AP flour and 1 3/4 WW flour. Thanks for sharing!

    Although I have not seen the Hunger Games, nor read the series, I have sad about the food involved in the novel. I was inspired to make goat cheese balls wrapped in basil and these plums look like an excellent addition to a family favourite.

    […] So how do they taste? What I love about these cookies is that before you actually bite into the chewy oatmeal cookie, you smell it. They are full of cinnamon and once it has baked with the butter, it smells heavenly. I especially love the texture. These are more oats than flour which along with brown sugar adds to the chewiness, but they are not dry. If you want the original recipe which I adapted from Thomas Keller, using white flour and more sugar and dried cherries, go here. For another healthy twist on oatmeal cookies you might like these made with dried plums and rosemary, go here.  […]
