- Greetings! I’m Ginger! Did you know all real North Pole gingerbread has to have 5 special spices? Cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg, cardamom, and ginger of course! If you are a bit extra, you’ve got to have pepper, too (Mrs. Claus add this to keep the elves warm)! For me, gingerbread can never be spicy enough! My favorite thing to make out of gingerbread is gingerbread houses! You can make some at home with paper to decorate your home! You need construction paper and some scissors, use the template, or just draw what you want! Here is my favorite gingerbread cookie recipe, its a bit spicy, like me!
royal icing
this is a great coating for a huge cookie, it firms up and is pretty hardy!
Ingredients
- 6 c confectioners sugar sifted!
- 3/4 c water
- 1/3 c meringue powder
Instructions
- with mixer on low, drizzle water over confectioners sugar
- mix on low for about 7 minutes, do not put mixer any higher than low or you get loads of air bubbles
- add coloring as needed, if you want thicker frosting, add more sifted confectioner sugar in 1/4 c increments
