Need to identify type of cookie and/or find recipe.?

When I was growing up in the midwest, I used to have a favorite cookie at a local bakery. It was dark brown, probably made with moles and/or ginger and/or other spices. I believe it may have had raisins or chopped dates or something like that as well. It had a carmel or maple glaze ( sort of like the glaze on a maple Krispy Kreme). The distinctive thing was that the cookies were baked as a large oblong slabs (think in terms of maybe two long rectangular slabs per standard cookie sheet. These large slabs/cookies were then glazed and cut cross-ways, producing individual cut cookies with a rectangular shape of maybe 2-3 inches from cut-side to cut-side and maybe 6-8 inches from natural side to natural side. The glaze was not applied all the way to the edge on the big slab so the cut cookies would have two ends that would be 0.5-1 inch unglazed. The consistency was a little "cakey" but definitely not a "bar" cookie in the traditional sense; more like a normal cookie in thickness and texture. I have done some Internet searching but no luck so far. Thanks for any ideas you can come up with.
