How to Make Chinese Chews

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar, and 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour in a medium bowl. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press the mixture evenly into a greased 9x10 inch baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1 cup (140g) sweetened shredded coconut, and 1 cup (150g) chopped walnuts.
  5. Pour the coconut-walnut mixture evenly over the baked crust in the pan.
  6. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let the Chinese Chews cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  8. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve.
