I have made gingerbread cookies in the past, but used this new recipe for our first attempt at Gingerbread House construction for the 2009 holidays. It was simple and the houses turned out great. We'll be using it every year.

The recipe didn't say to grease the cookie sheet, so I didn't. And everything stuck. And shattered. No gingerbread house for me, just crumbs and a huge bag of frosting.

Very easy recipe to follow. I cut out the template from pieces of paper (using my scrapbook cutter. However, I only made 4 sides with a roof. I didn't add the extra "room". One easy solution to cutting out the gingerbread is to use a pizza cutter. Zip, zip and done.
I also used leftover stained glass candy that never set as my "glue". I just remelted the sugar, water, corn syrup mixture and it worked well. This glue also looks pretty as the lights in the windows (if you tint the mixture with food coloring or gel.

This was such an easy recipe to make! It was my first time making gingerbread houses and I will definitely be doing it again next year!!! My kids had a blast decorating them! My only complaint was that the templates weren't included. But, it wasn't too difficult to follow the "dimensions" included and make own!

I threw a Gingerbread house decorating party Saturday night and I was able to double this recipe and stretch it into four houses. I wasn't able to find the template, but I used Index Cards and made my own smaller houses. I have never made Gingerbread from scratch before and I was nervous, but so many other reviewers said this was easy so I went for it. I was thrilled with how these turned out! They looked great, they were sturdy, even, and tasted yummy. I got so many compliments on my Gingerbread!

My sister and I entered a gingerbread house making contest in our hometown. Both of us never made a gingerbread house before and this recipe was AWESOME. And if you were wondering we won the local contest.
