  • Gingerbread house Make Tips

    1. To ensure the house's stability, it is recommended that the cookies for the roof be slightly thinner while the walls be slightly thicker. Bake them in two separate batches, increasing or decreasing the time appropriately according to the thickness. 2. It is best to wait until the glued walls are dry before assembling the roof. 3. For decorations, besides chocolate and candy, you can also use colorful sprinkles or frosting. It is best to choose red, green, yellow, or orange to enhance the Christmas atmosphere. If you mind food coloring, chocolate chips are a good choice.
