Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 3 eggs at room temperature
- 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups chopped pecans toasted
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pitted dates
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Separately, in a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well blended, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped pecans and dates until evenly mixed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for at least 2 hours to help the cookies hold their shape.
- Scoop rounded tablespoon portions onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes until the cookies are puffed and the edges are golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
