Time 2h10m

Yield about 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup chopped Medjool dates (about 5 dates)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

Mix the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Turn the mixer to low, add the egg and mix well to combine. Add the oats, flour and cinnamon and mix on low until combined. Fold in the dates and walnuts with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; line a baking sheet with parchment.
Scoop mounds of dough with a cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons per cookie) and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
Bake on the middle rack until golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining dough.
