gingerbread cookies with cream cheese frosting
  • For Cookies:
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup Stevia In The Raw® Bakers Bag
  • 1/3 cup unsulfured molasses
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 large egg
  • For Frosting:
  • 1 (4 ounce) package cold cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/4 cup Stevia In The Raw® Bakers Bag
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla


  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves.
  2. 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.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. 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.
  5. Bake until puffy and set, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
  6. 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.
  7. Use a small offset spatula to spread frosting on top of cookies.
