These tasty cookies are best when bite size. Can be frozen and pulled out of the freezer for company. Recipe from Pamela Hendrix.
¾ cup butter, softened
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
1 ½ cups flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
Dash salt
1 cup dates, chopped
½ cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
Cream butter and sugar, add egg and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients, gradually add to creamed mixture. Add dates and nuts. Refrigerate dough for ½ hour if too sticky to handle. Drop by teaspoons onto greased baking sheets, 2” apart. You may want to sprinkle on a little sugar on dough before placing in the oven, for added sweetness!
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan.
