01 -

The combination of fresh plums and raisins creates this incredible depth of fruity sweetness in every single bite
These cookies stay perfectly chewy for days, which is honestly rare for oatmeal cookies

02 -

The dough will feel quite soft and sticky because of the fresh plums, but that's exactly how it should be
If your plums are very juicy, toss them in a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the dough

03 -

Rotate your baking sheets halfway through baking if your oven has hot spots
For extra flavor, toast the oats in a dry pan for 5 minutes before mixing them into the dough
