Recipes:

STEWED PRUNES
Prunes (sorry, "dried plums")
Water
Sugar (about 1/3 c. per pound of prunes)

Place prunes in a saucepan with enough water to barely cover them. Add sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook about 30 minutes--a little longer if the prunes start out very dry.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
1 1/8 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 stick (1/2 c.) butter
3/8 c. sugar (measure this as one and a half quarter-cups)
3/8 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 c. chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
In a large bowl (preferably the bowl of a KitchenAid mixer), beat butter, sugars, and vanilla until creamy. Add egg and continue beating.
Gradually beat in flour mixture, then fold in chocolate chips.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake 10 minutes, until golden brown but still soft in the center. Makes about 20 cookies.
