Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl combine egg, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla. Stir in dates; set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oat bran, ground flaxseeds, baking soda, and cinnamon. Add flour mixture to date mixture, stirring until moist. Stir in pecans.

Step 3

Using a scant 1/4 cup measure or scoop, drop dough into 10 mounds about 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden. Cool on cookie sheets for 1 minute. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
