2 egg whites, room temperature
 1/4 tsp salt
 1/2 to 3/4 c. sugar
 1 tsp vanilla
 1/2 to 1 c chopped dates 
 1/2 to 1 c chopped pecans mixed together with 1 Tbsp. flour
 Add salt to egg whites in mixer bowl. At high speed of mixer, beat
 egg whites until foamy. Continue beating at high speed and gradually
 adding sugar as you beat. When peaks are very stiff fold in vanilla,
 dates, and nuts (with flour). Drop by rounded teaspoons onto greased
 cookie sheets. Cookies will spread as they cook so don't put too
 close together. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until
 lightly browned. Cool briefly on pans, then remove to racks to
 finish cooling.
