This is a quick and easy way to make a festive holiday treat that will impress your family and friends.

Ingredients

The ingredients for this recipe are simple and easy to find. You’ll need:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Icing and/or candy for decoration

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Combine the dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.

Step 3: Cream the butter and sugar

In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the molasses, egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.

Step 4: Add the dry ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Step 5: Roll out the dough

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Cut out the shapes for the gingerbread house and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely before assembling.

Step 6: Assemble the gingerbread house

Once the gingerbread pieces have cooled, assemble the house using icing or melted candy as glue. Allow the icing to dry before decorating with your favorite holiday treats.
