Ingredients:

Cookies:

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup quick oats (not old-fashioned)
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans, toasted
• 1/4 cup chopped dates

Frosting:

• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/3 cup finely chopped pecans, toasted

Directions:

For the cookies, preheat oven to 350degrees. Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Beat in maple syrup. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; gradually beat into butter mixture. On low speed, beat in oats, pecans, and dates.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 12 minutes or until cookies are golden brown. Let stand on cookie sheets for 2 minutes and then transfer to wire racks and cool completely.

For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter in a small bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth. Beat in maple syrup. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until smooth. Spread frosting over cooled cookies; top with finely chopped pecans.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
