Ground walnuts and hazelnuts take the place of flour in this gluten-free, deeply chocolate cookie. Each cookie also has the equivalent of one prune.
In a food processor, grind the walnuts, hazelnuts, and salt into a coarse meal. (Do not over-process.)
Melt the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a pot of barely simmering water or a microwave. Stir with a rubber spatula and let cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 350F [180 C]. Line two 46-by-13-cm [18-by-13-in] half-sheet pans with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar until the whites hold stiff peaks when the whisk is removed from the bowl, about 2 minutes. Gently fold in the chocolate and nuts, then fold in the dried plums.
Using a 30 ml [2 tablespoon] scoop, portion onto the prepared pans. Bake until firm on the outside but still soft in the center, about 12 minutes. Let cool on the sheet pans.
