Title: Date Chewsticks
Categories: Snacks, Kids
Servings: 6

3 Eggs
1 ts Vanilla
1 ts Baking powder
1 c Sugar
1 c Dates
1 c Flour

I got this recipe from a lady who is now in her 90's and still
going strong. She said this recipe came from the 1920's sometime
and was used in my neck of the woods, out Barkerville way (a gold
rush town from the 1890's that has been made into a tourist trap.
Because there were so many Chinese people who came up to make their
fortune, it ended up being called Chinese Chews, but she swears
that the name is Date Chewsticks.

Beat eggs and sugar, add baking powder, vanilla, and flour. Add the
dates last and mix thoroughly. Batter will be thick. Pour into a
greased 8x8" pan and bake at 350?F for 25 to 30 minutes. When
cooled, sprinkle icing sugar over the top and rub in until
completely coated with icing sugar.

Can be doubled and baked in a 9x13" pan. Takes about 10 to
15 minutes longer.

I have also used that candied fruit that is available at Xmas in
place of the dates and it is wonderful. To make it real fancy for a
"DO", use a paper doily before sprinkling the icing sugar on top.

MMMMM
