Chinese Chews

Ingredients

  1. 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  2. 1 cup granulated sugar
  3. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  4. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  5. 1 cup chopped dates
  6. 3/4 chopped walnuts
  7. 2 eggs
  8. 1 cup powdered sugar, for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8x8-inch metal baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix in dates and walnuts until evenly combined.
  3. Add eggs to mixture and stir until no dry spots remain.
  4. Transfer batter to the prepared baking dish and bake for 24-28 minutes. Careful not to overbake as they won’t roll as well if they’re too dry.
  5. Allow chews to cool for 10 minutes, then slice into small rectangles and roll between your hands to compress into a log shape. Roll each chew in powdered sugar, then allow them to fully cool.
  6. Store the fully cooled chews in an airtight container.
