How To make 1992 1st Place: Gingerbread Bears
3 1/2 c Unsifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 ts Ground ginger
1 1/2 ts Cinnamon
1 ts Baking soda
1 ts Ground cloves
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 c Butter, softened
3/4 c Sugar
1 Egg
3/4 c Light molasses
1 ts Grated lemon rind
Decorations as desired
Cooking time: 7 to 10 minutes 1. Measure 3 1/2 cups flour; sift together with spices, baking soda
and salt; set aside. Beat butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add sugar and mix on high speed until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Add egg and mix well. Stop the mixer and add molasses and lemon rind. Mix on low speed to combine. Stir in dry ingredients with a wooden spoon. 2. Divide dough into four parts. Wrap each one separately in plastic
wrap and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight. 3. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease baking sheets.
4. Remove one piece of dough from the refrigerator at a time. Roll
the well-chilled dough on a floured board or between sheets of waxed paper to a 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out with cookie cutters and carefully transfer to prepared baking sheets, leaving 1-inch between each cookie. 5. Bake just until the cookies are lightly browned and set, 7 to 10
minutes. Do not overbake. Transfer from baking sheets to a wire rack and cool completely before decorating. Decorate as desired. Store in airtight containers. Nancy Schubert of Schaumburg, Illinois took first place with these chubby little bears. She uses colored sugar, little candies and a classic royal icing to decorate the bears. Confectioners' sugar icing or tubes of decorator icing can be also can be used. from the Chicago Tribune fifth annual Food Guide Holiday Cookie Contest December 3, 1992

FULL RECIPE LISTED BELOW
Gemma's Gingerbread House Log Cabin
GINGERBREAD DOUGH INGREDIENTS
(
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup molasses/treacle (or honey if molasses isn't available)
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
INGREDIENTS FOR THE HOUSE
2 hard candies for the windows
2 bags of log pretzels
My Favorite Royal Icing Recipe
METHOD
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and molasses. Combine the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hours or overnight or until easy to handle.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness.
3. Place one of the paper templates on top and with a sharp knife cut around. Repeat the process with the other templates using the remaining dough and rolling up the trimmings – until you have a front and back wall, two side walls and two roof panels and the chimney
Click links below for the house measurements:
and the chimney
Scroll down these pages for the templates. The Chimney are the small pieces, ignore the large square in the picture.
For the door I cut out the door and windows free form. If you want stained glass windows don’t forget to add your hard candy.
4. Carefully move the pieces on their baking parchment to baking trays and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly brown. Remove the trays from the oven and allow stand for a few minutes. Place on a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
4. Glue the house together using the royal icing. Leave off the last panel of the roof until the end. Use tins to hold up the house to add extra reinforcement. You can leave it dry for a bit.
5. Cut and glue on the log pretzels all over.
6. Add the snow on your roof and around the windows and any decorations you've made (wreath and garland)
7. Make any decorations 24 hours in advance. Let your house dry WITHOUT MOVING for 6 hours. Take care when moving.
8. You can add lights on the inside to shine thorugh the windows. Happy Holidays!!!
Baking an EPIC Gingerbread Village Ski Resort FROM SCRATCH | Fully Edible Gingerbread House/Village
Happy Holidays everyone! If you celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas. We had this idea a bit last minute but once we started dreaming it up, we just had to execute it to the fullest. We did lots of research to figure out how to bake a strong gingerbread structure to create the Gingerbread Ski Resort of our dreams. Frosty Valley (what we’ve called our village) is complete with a glowing A-frame cabin made of gingerbread & butterscotch candy, a fully edible chair lift up to the slopes, and a candy ice rink. This is the craziest thing I’ve ever baked for sure. While time consuming and a huge challenge, maybe we will make it our new holiday tradition! At least I hope to be able to do some fun creative baking each year…Or it will just be an amazing Christmas memory we’ll remember forever. Either way, I hope you enjoy the making of our epic gingerbread village/ski resort.
We ended up using two different Gingerbread recipes. Our strong structural construction gingerbread recipe:
(note: we used half butter & half shortener in an attempt to make it a bit more edible, plus half dark brown sugar & half white sugar in our first batch)
The delicious, chewy but still strong Gingerbread Cookie Recipe thanks to my bestie Sarah. We did many batches but here it is:
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup molasses
3 cup flour (and extra for rolling)
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Preheat to 375 F
Beat butter & sugar
Stir in egg & molasses
Fold in flour/spices/salt into butter
Chill 2 hours
Cut dough into sections
Roll on floured board
Bake 10 min (or less if you have really small cookies like some of the ones we made)
