We cut out 8 squares and 8 triangles (for the roof) to make the cookies, and I made this icing (except I halved it). If I had planned this ahead of time it would have been fun to have some little candies or more colors of food coloring to decorate the cookies, but the girls had a great time with what I had on hand.
These cookies were so easy to make, required no special equipment or even cookie cutters and tasted good too. I think we'll definitely put these in the "make again next year" file. :)

ReplyDeleteCute Idea!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I can never get "real" gingerbread houses to work out, so we like to do the simple ones too :)
ReplyDeleteNice to see someone make a homemade gingerbread house. I'm not much of a baker. So, I always end up buying a kit.
ReplyDeleteI got a gingerbread train kit at Target last week that Brady and I are going to make Friday night. He's so excited about it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting me :)
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute!!!! I may have to look for that mix at the store.
