1. Combine the butter sugars and salt and beat until smooth.
2. Add the egg and vanilla, beat well again.
3. Add the dry sifted ingredients, and combine.
4. Fold in the nuts and dates until evenly throughout.
5. Drop batter by the teaspoonful onto crushed frosted flakes, than place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
6. Bake in a preheated oven 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
