The random number generator kept me in the Cooky Primer with the Chocolate Fruit Bars on p. 14 of the Cooky Book. These bars are chockfull of chocolate chips, cherries, and raisins.

These are a little like pigs-in-a-blanket with walnuts in the center, wrapped in a delicate pastry-like cookie and topped with a dusting of confectioner’s sugar. This dough was just butter,…
