4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup butter, cubed
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/4 cup 2% milk
1 tsp maple flavoring
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 to 2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions:

In a large bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in pumpkin. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to pumpkin mixture and mix well. Stir in pecans and dates.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 13-15 minutes or until firm.
