- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients, ensuring the dates are pitted and chopped finely.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter and sugar mixture.
- Fold in the chopped dates until evenly distributed.
