Gingerbread Cutouts

Submitted by: Joyce Guy
You can roll out gingerbread dough into rectangular sheets for walls, cut out windows, and bake. Same for the roof. When done you can fit them together with icing 'glue' and paint them with colored icing. First decide what size and draw each piece (front, back, ends and roof on paper such as typing or computer paper and fit them together to see how it will look when completed. You can also cut out shingles and 'glue' them in place after the rest is assembled. Use the paper pattern as a guide for cutting each piece out of the dough before you bake it. Decorate with icing and decorative candies.

These cookies are so versatile! They are delicious, naturally low-fat and even make terrific Christmas ornaments that keep for years. Royal Icing is best for decoration. CAUTION: These cookies have a way of disappearing!

Mom always used the same round-headed cookie cutter to make her boys. They always came out of the oven soft and chewy with plenty of traditional molasses-ginger flavor. --Donna Sasser Hinds, Milwaukie, Oregon

Moist scones with a festive gingerbread flavor were a delightful second course at our ladies' luncheon. They are a scrumptious treat with tea or coffee--and especially nice to serve around Christmas. --David Bostedt, Zephryhills, Florida

As a city kid, I was always eager to visit my grandparents on their Oklahoma farmstead. There I acquired my taste for country food, like these tender cookies with buttery icing.

These lightly spiced fellows are great to munch on. Punch a hole in the cutout shapes before baking and use the sturdy cookies as tree ornaments, too.

I found this recipe in a magazine over 30 years ago and have made the cutouts for Christmas ever since. Four ingredients make them an oh-so-simple recipe to whip up during the hectic holidays.

'With their soft tender insides, these cookies quickly disappear from the cookie jar,' reports Stephanie McKinnon of West Valley City, Utah. 'Vanilla pudding mix gives the frosting a velvety texture and fabulous flavor.'
