Ingredients
-
1 cup chopped dates
-
¼ cup chopped pecans
-
¼ cup water
-
½ very ripe banana, mashed
-
1 large egg, lightly beaten
-
2 tablespoons butter, melted
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon
-
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Combine the dates, pecans, water, banana, egg, butter, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
-
Whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to the date mixture and stir until well combined.
-
Drop dough by tablespoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten lightly with the palm of your hand.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies start to brown around the edges, being careful not to over-bake, for 11 to 13 minutes. Transfer cookies immediately to a wire rack to cool.
Recipe Tip
The cookies won't spread out much when baked, so you can place them on the prepared baking sheet fairly close together.
