This easy cookie recipe obeys the law that governs Southern desserts: If it doesn’t make your teeth ache, it’s not worth eating. This dessert is great anytime of year, but it’s especially suitable for Mardi Gras.
Bar cookies and squares
Chocolate Cherry Five Layer Bars
Chocolate and cherries flavor this luscious variation on a classic recipe. I like these cookies best with a combination of maraschino and dried cherries. The maraschino cherries lend color; the dried cherries add a delightful tartness.
