Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped dates
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Set this aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped dates and walnuts gently with a spatula.
  7. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
  10. Cut into squares and savor your creation.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, lightly toast the walnuts before folding them into the batter.
  • If your dates are very dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat them dry before chopping and using.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days.
