Gingerbread Cupcakes

To begin, we gathered our ingredients!

5 tbsp unsalted butter

1/2 c granulated sugar

1/2 c molasses 

1 whole egg

1 egg yolk

1 1/4 c flour

1 tbsp cocoa powder

1 1/4 tsp ginger

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 c warm/hot milk (don't boil) 

Next, preheat oven to 350, line muffin tin with paper liners.

Then, sift together dry ingredients.

Cream together butter and sugar. Add egg and yolk, Mix together, add molasses and mix again! :) Then add all of the dry ingredients. Stir slightly and add the warm milk (mix well) :D 

Add mix to muffin tins!

Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once completely cooled, add cream cheese frosting! (we used pre-made.)

Cute!
