Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
½ cup shortening
2 large eggs
3 cups grated zucchini
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup chopped dates

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
Cream together brown sugar, white sugar, and shortening in a large bowl. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and beat well after each addition. Stir in grated zucchini and vanilla.
Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to wet ingredients; stir and scrape the sides of the bowl until all dry ingredients are absorbed. Mix in nuts and dates. Drop tablespoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat to bake remaining batches.
