If you're looking for a unique and delicious holiday treat, try out this recipe for Christmas peppermint meringue swirls. These light and airy cookies are perfect for snacking on while you build your gingerbread house.
Ingredients
Gingerbread Dough
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup molasses
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
Royal Icing
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Gingerbread Dough
Start by sifting together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg, molasses, and vinegar, and mix until well combined. Slowly add in the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Step 2: Chill the Dough
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight. This will make the dough easier to work with when rolling and cutting out your gingerbread house pieces.
Step 3: Roll and Cut Out the Pieces
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Using a sharp knife or gingerbread house template, cut out two of each shape for the walls, roof, and chimney.
Step 4: Bake the Pieces
Place the pieces on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the pieces cool completely before assembling.
Step 5: Make the Royal Icing
In a large bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, egg whites, and lemon juice until smooth and glossy. The icing should be thick but still spreadable. If it's too thick, add a little water. If it's too thin, add more confectioners' sugar.
Step 6: Assemble and Decorate
Using the royal icing as glue, assemble your gingerbread house by attaching the walls to the base and then attaching the roof pieces. Use the icing to add decorative touches, like snow and icicles. You can also use candies, sprinkles, and other edible decorations to make your ginger house truly unique.
With this Christmas ginger house recipe , you can create a well-organized and professional holiday centerpiece that will impress your guests and delight your taste buds. Enjoy this festive activity and make cherished memories with your loved ones this Christmas. Happy baking!
