Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Kosher salt
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
One 8-ounce block cream cheese
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
