Time 1h50m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated chocolate chip cookies
1/2 cup diced mixed candied fruit
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
Powdered sugar, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 8-inch square pan with cooking spray. Break up 2/3 of cookie dough into pan. With floured fingers, press dough evenly in bottom of pan to form crust.
  • Break up remaining 1/3 of dough into small bowl. Add candied fruit and flour; mix well. Spread jam over dough in pan. Sprinkle with candied fruit mixture; press lightly into jam.
  • Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Lightly dust with powdered sugar. Cut into bars.
  • Line the pan with foil, allowing enough foil to make the bars easy to lift and transfer to a flat surface for cutting.

I love that these bars are a healthier alternative to traditional fruitcake.

These bars are a great make-ahead dessert. You can make them a few days in advance and store them in the refrigerator.

I added some chopped walnuts to the batter for a little extra crunch.

I made these bars gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. They turned out just as good as the regular version.

I thought the bars were a bit dry. I might try adding some extra butter or oil next time.

The bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall they were still good.

I love that this recipe uses dried fruit instead of candied fruit. It gives the bars a more natural flavor.
