CHINESE CHEWS (KILLEEN ISD RECIPE)
"Everyone" at school loved Chinese Chew day in the cafeteria. I made sure I had lunch money on that day!! Most of the recipes in my KISD cookbook do not show the preparation time or number of servings. Some show cook time, some don't. This recipe doesn't have any of those details, but believe me. You will not care. They are SO...

Steps:
- 1. Cream butter and sugar. Add remaining ingredients.
- 2. If drop cookies are to be made, chill dough before dropping on a slightly greased sheet pan. If Chews or bars or strips are to be made, press dough onto a slightly greased and floured sheet and bake at 325 to 350 degrees until well set and a light brown. Do not overcook.
- 3. Remove from oven and, while hot, brush with a powdered sugar and water glaze.
MICROWAVE CHINESE CHEWS
Easy, yummy cookie. I make these for the holiday cookie exchange, but I felt so guilty for making such an easy cookie, I didn't make them one year. The next year I was asked to please make them again, people were asking for them.

This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of cooking. - **Use Fresh Ingredients:** Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. - **Don't Overcrowd the Pan:** When cooking meat or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will result in steamed food rather than browned or crispy food. - **Season to Taste:** Don't be afraid to season your food to taste. Start with a small amount of salt and pepper and add more as needed. - **Use a Wok:** A wok is a great tool for cooking Chinese food. It allows you to cook food quickly and evenly. - **Master the Art of Stir-Frying:** Stir-frying is a common Chinese cooking technique. To stir-fry, heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add a small amount of oil and then add your ingredients. Stir constantly until the food is cooked through. - **Use a Variety of Sauces:** Chinese cuisine offers a wide variety of sauces, each with its own unique flavor. Experiment with different sauces to find ones that you enjoy. - **Serve with Rice:** Rice is a staple food in China and is often served with Chinese dishes. - **Garnish with Fresh Herbs:** Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, green onions, and basil, can add a pop of color and flavor to your Chinese dishes.Conclusion:
