This is an amazing recipe for a gingerbread house! The taste is awesome, and the pieces held up using a much larger template than what was provided (we wanted to go bigger). We doubled this recipe (x2.5), and found there was just enough scrap dough to finish (plus decorative cookies!).

We did notice that both times our dough was a bit dry, and that it rolled out much more consistently and with fewer cracks after adding two(ish) tablespoons of water at the end. Despite that small tweak, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone interested in gingerbread houses, especially if you intend to eat them!

(Also, thank you thank you for the notes about molasses. We tried a different recipe using blackstrap molasses – they didn’t specify and we had no idea – without vanilla and much else in the way of spices. It was very disappointing! I was so happy to see that you had added this recipe to your site!)

I can only imagine how long it took to perfect this recipe and decorate 3 beautiful gingerbread houses without little fingers taking a sample! 🙂
Thanks for the recipe; I was hoping my favorite dessert blogger would have one in time for my family’s gingerbread house decorating day!
