Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Set aside.
3. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar and packed light brown sugar at medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
4. Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture gradually and mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped pitted dates and chopped pecans with a spatula or wooden spoon.
5. Using a medium spring-loaded cookie scoop, portion about 1½ tablespoons of dough per cookie, levelled, and roll into balls. Place on a prepared baking sheet at least 2 inches apart; you should get about 24. Press each ball down slightly.
6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centres are still slightly soft.
7. Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
