Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Combine flour, spices, and baking soda.

With an electric mixer at medium-low, beat butter and sugar until fluffy.

Add egg, vanilla, and lemon zest, and beat until combined.

Beat in half the flour mixture.

Add ¼ milk, then beat in remaining flour mixture until well blended.

Stir in dates, raisins, and walnuts.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake until browned, about 10 minutes.

Stir about 4 to 6 tablespoons of milk into icing sugar to make a thin glaze.

Spread the glaze on the cooled cookies.
