chinese chews
(1 RATING)
My parents married in 1941 and Mother found this recipe not long after they married. She said she never understood why it was called 'Chinese' Chews, but they are great. Both of my parents are gone now, but the recipe lives on. It is a family favorite - my brother still wants a pan of these as his birthday and Christmas gift from me since I am the one who makes it most like Mother did. I hope you all enjoy!

How To Make chinese chews
-
Step 1For the Crust: Mix butter and sugar until well blended. Sift in the flour until incorporated. Pat into an ungreased 8 x 8 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
-
Step 2For the Filling: Whip eggs with a fork or whisk until blended. Add sugar, vanilla, flour and salt and stir until blended. Add the pecans and coconut and stir to mix well. Pour and spread over the crust. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes to see if firm on edges and still slightly loose in the middle. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Will firm as it cools.
