CHINESE CHEWS
2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup chopped dates
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 tsp. salt
2 well beaten eggs
3/4 cup fruit sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Mix and sift flour, baking powder and salt. Beat eggs until foamy, add
sugar, vanilla, dry ingrediants. Beat well.
Fold in dates and walnuts. Spread about 1/2 inch thick on a well-greased
cookie sheet.
Bake for 25 minutes at 325 degrees F. You can cut into small squares,
roll into balls and roll in sugar.
Meale's recommended format approx 5/8 " x 2" strips lightly rolled
in sugar.
Although these seem great just out of the oven, if you can leave some in
a tin for a day or 2 you will find them more chewy and even better.
