Recipe:
1/2 cup of coconut oil.
2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour.
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup of molasses
1 egg
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Powdered sugar icing- 1 cup of powdered sugar, a little bit of milk a teaspoon added until you get the consistency you want in frosting. The thicker the better when putting your Gingerbread house together. You can get free templates of different sizes of gingerbread houses online.
Divide dough in half, cover and chill for 3 hours. On a lightly floured surface roll each portion of dough to 1/4 inch thickness, cut into your shapes. Bake at 375F oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet for one minute. I let mine cool overnight and the next day I put my house pieces together after decorating the walls and roofs.

Thank you Aiva, I hope you and your family had a beautiful Christmas too. I always love seeing what cool adventures you all take, such pretty photos. I will be off for the month of January and will be shutting off comments again until I come back in February…I have a troll in my mist that can be annoying at times, but it, the troll, must be busy with something else for awhile , because I haven’t been bothered lately and that is always good…Trolls are creepy little creatures. Anyway, once I’m back on to monitor my comments I will put that back up. Have a Happy New Year, and thank you for sharing all those beautiful trips of yours.
