Th dough for this recipe was too dry by just following the directions listed on the website. I had to add 2 more tablespoons of water before it would come together. Once baked, the pieces were too large to use because they no longer fit the pattern and it was too bready to be stable enough to use for construction. The only reason I gave this recipe 2 stars is because it had a great flavor and would be perfect for cookies.

Double the spices or taste the batter before adding flour. The flour covers them up so the taste should be strong. Kids loved it.

I made this with my daughters. We tripled the recipe and each made one. It was a lot of fun. I rolled the dough 1/4" thick. Also it should be noted that after baking the gingerbread shapes they need to be trimmed promptly because they crisp up very quickly. We never made gingerbread houses before, so we were all pleasantly surprised at our success. Thanks for the recipe.

Excellent recipe. Used exactly as instructed except I used a slightly bigger template and still had dough remaining. For those who say it may need more water - you just have to read carefully.

It was a nice recipe, flavorful.. Assembling the house went well.@ Sherrie97, You can always add more icing sugar to get the consistency you want. If u understood royal you'd know that. Also check to see whether your spices are still potent. Should always check. Seems deary like you just can't bake. Better luck next time.

The gingerbread was dry, brittle and tasteless. The frosting was too thin.

I'm making gingerbread house kits for gifts for Christmas this year, so I've made this recipe 5 times now. One time I used margarine instead of butter and it was completely unworkable. Also, a little more water helps, like one more tablespoon. Flavor is great, and it's nice and sturdy.
