3 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups maple syrup
3 eggs
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Stir together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add nuts and dates and mix well. Cream the butter and gradually add maple syrup and eggs. Gradually add the flour mixture until well incorporated. Drop by teaspoons on a cookie sheet and bake 10 minutes.

I tried this recently and did not like it at all. The cookie was mushy and spread a lot. Only whole wheat flour did not give a good texture to the cookie. I added some brown sugar and white flour to make it a little thicker. Took them to work. Not many good comments.

Quite delicious. The maple taste is not too overpowering and the pecans compliment nicely. It gives a nice change of pace with the light, cake-like consistency.

Good... not too sweet, but could've been more moist. Use a No. 2 amber maple syrup for a richer flavour. How about raisins?

Very good recipe, but I slightly increased the dates and added some brown sugar and vanilla. They came out great!
