Ingredients:

Serving

6 tbsp unsalted softened butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar or 1/2 cup splenda sugar blend for baking
1/4 cup light molasses
2 eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup chopped candied ginger
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup prepared hot cocoa (adjust amount if needed)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2 oz softened cream cheese
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 tsp lemon extract

Directions:

Butter or line a 12 muffin tin.
Cream 5 tablespoons of the butter with the sugar or Splenda. Add the molasses and the egg and the egg yolk.
Sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until lightly springy to the touch. Cool in the pan and move to a rack.
