Christmas party tonight, and I&#8217;m hosting a cookie swap tomorrow that I have yet to bake cookies for.\u00a0 Yikes!\u00a0 Needless to say, I did not want to make something complicated or too terribly time-consuming.\u00a0 So, I made spice cupcakes&#8230;from a box!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t lazy enough to use canned frosting, so I made a basic cream cheese frosting and added a few tablespoons of maple syrup.\u00a0 It was a bit of a stretch for me as a recipe follower, but it turned out to be a nice frosting for the spice cupcakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
