Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup Stevia In The Raw® Bakers Bag
- ⅓ cup unsulfured molasses
- ¼ cup applesauce
- 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 large egg
- 1 (4 ounce) package cold cream cheese, cubed
- ½ stick unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar, sifted
- ¼ cup Stevia In The Raw® Bakers Bag
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, stevia, molasses, applesauce, ginger, and egg. Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until combined. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop out dough. Roll dough into balls. Place on the baking sheet 1 inch apart. Very slightly flatten cookies with your palm.
- Bake until puffy and set, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
- For frosting, in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese on medium speed until very smooth. With mixer running, add butter a little at a time, beating constantly. Add powdered sugar, stevia, and vanilla and beat just until smooth.
- Use a small offset spatula to spread frosting on top of cookies.
- Feel free to use ground nutmeg instead of grated.

One thing I don’t get here. Why would you want the cream cheese cold before creaming with the room temp butter???
