I love gingerbread houses. If you don’t cook them exactly right, you wind up with cookies a bit too hard to eat easily, but that just makes them that much better for decorating. The ideal, of course, is to make your gingerbread house firm enough to decorate easily, but soft enough devour when the holiday mood strikes.
Making Gingerbread Houses
The easiest way to make gingerbread houses is to buy the mix from store that requires just a handful of ingredients or even better, buy the ready made dough that you can just roll out and start cutting. Cutting out your gingerbread house will require a knife and steady hand rather than cookie cutters. You'll need to make the four wall and the two roof sections before baking.
Decorating Gingerbread Houses
Cut out the gingerbread sections and bake them according to instructions. When they are baked to a golden brown, allow the sections to cool before decorating. Use icing tubes to stick the sections together and then candy to decorate the little house. Your gingerbread house can be a great decoration or you can start nibbling on it just as soon as you get it all put together.
