Cream together your butter and sugar until pale. Add in the egg, followed by the vanilla and mix well. You may need to scrape down the edges of the bowl at this point. Mix in half of the chocolate and half of the dates. Mix well. Scoop mixture into your skillet and flatten out to the edges of the pan. You don’t need to be neat, don’t worry, the cookie will flatten itself out. Scatter the remaining chocolate and dates over the top of the cookie ad press into the dough.Pop in the oven for 18-22 minutes. Bake until the edges are brown and the top has turned a golden colour. Resist the urge to over-bake it, you want it to be slightly squidgy inside, that’s part of the joy of it! Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and devouring.
