Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Pitted dates, chopped
• 0.5 cups Walnuts, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the chopped dates and walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear soft and slightly underbaked.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your chewy date cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
