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

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2
Combine the dates, pecans, water, banana, egg, butter, and vanilla extract in a bowl.

Step 3
Whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to the date mixture and stir until well combined.

Step 4
Drop dough by tablespoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten lightly with the palm of your hand.

Step 5
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.
