Love Chinese chews! My grandmother used to have this receipe, only difference is that she used 2 cups flour vs 1 1/2 cups. She also used white sugar to roll them in after baking instead of confectioner's sugar. She also used a greased pan and baked at 325 for 20-25 minues. Not much difference, but it is a great recipe that my family has used for years!!

No need to roll these treats...I cut these into mini-squares and that's it! Maybe they were too difficult to roll because I used 1 cup of sugar, and 1 cup of chopped pecans. The end result has a consistency like a brownie. Definitely a keeper in my regular recipes!

Really chewy! My family doesn't like things too sweet, so I cut down the sugar to 1 1/3 cup, used chopped dates instead of pureed dates and 1 cup chopped pecans. I used a 9X13 pan for 25-30min and they turned out excellent! I didn't roll them in sugar afterwards -- they were great just plain. I think it would be too sweet if the full amount of sugar was used.
