To use this snippet first replace the _default in the URL with your environment name if you are using somethign other than the global default. Next in the run list, replace ... with your cookbook names. Unlike other run lists, you cannot have roles here, and you don't use the 'recipe[foo]' syntax, just 'foo'.
