Chinese Chews.

Another from a collection of vintage recipes. I have no idea why these are "Chinese." They seem like a wonderful Christmas treat.

Chinese Chews

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, unbeaten
1 cup sifted flour
1/4 package chopped dates
1/2 cup chopped nuts
12 maraschino cherries, quartered
1 tsp vanilla extract

Cream butter & sugar. Add eggs, flour, dates, nuts, cherries, and vanilla. Mix. Spread in a shallow pan about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Cook at 350 and cut into squares while still warm. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
