• 1 cup chopped dates
• cup chopped pecans
• cup water
• very ripe banana, mashed
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• teaspoon salt

Directions

Follow these steps to create a delicious batch of cookies:

1. Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped dates, pecans, water, mashed banana, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until everything is fully combined.
5. Using a tablespoon, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, placing each scoop about 1 inch apart. Lightly flatten each scoop with the palm of your hand.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 13 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies begin to brown. Be careful not to over-bake.
7. Once baked, immediately transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.

Recipe Tip

The cookies will not spread much during baking, so you can place them closer together on the baking sheet.
