URGENT! If you are making this recipe make sure to turn off the heat before you incorporate the flour! It is written in the written recipe but for some reason unmentioned in the video! If you do not do so your batter will turn out oily and impossible to work with! I hope everyone learns from this and I hope this helps!

We always did eat them after Christmas. As a children we didn't care, that the gingerbread was a little bit harder. We also didn't thrive for the most realistic decoration, but to put the must smarties, gummy bears etc. on it for later.

[@daisyelliottbalding5145]

Hello, so I used this recipe for a gingerbread house contest, and I have learned some things that were not mentioned in the video. Now most of this could just be due to my lack of baking experience, but I found the best method when rolling and cutting the gingerbread is to let it harder after making it, and then microwaving it until it is very, very soft, but still not burning hot. Then after rolling it out, you place your template on the gingerbread, and use the knife to cut it out WITHOUT a ruler. Then when you are finished leave the dough to harden and then use a spatula to pick it up and place it on the baking sheet. As a beginner, this is just what I found best. Also great video, I hope to see another like this soon! 😊

[@jaydadiamond1660]

In all reality the traditions that out grandparents have set for us to enjoy are so amazing and timeless! We should just take a while to admire the old and homey way out grandparents have taught us. We should treasure it and pass it on to our future generations. Our grandparents are so amazing! Take time with them! Time with the family is so precious!

Thank You Claire and the rest of the team for sharing this wonderful recipe! I meant to send a "Thank You" last year but with everything it got pushed back. When someone shares their recipe memories with others, it makes following the recipe so much more. Thanks for sharing your grandmothers recipe and for sharing it with the world! Great recipe and we use this now! I just wanted to let you know how much we cared about the wonderful history of the recipe. Thanks again!

[@rebeccajacklin3976]

Wonderful video! However, the video skips how much granulated sugar for the house! I looked it up and it's 1 cup. The cookie recipe is delicious, but again, they forgot to mention what temp and how long to cook them and the cookie recipe isn't included in the website. We had to guess and I think we did 12 minutes on 350. Of course, it does make a difference how large the cookies are. They don't spread much either so pat them down if you are doing a cookie ball instead of cut outs. We rolled ours in powdered sugar, but cinnamon sugar would be yummy too. Edit* We froze half the dough and made up the rest yesterday using cookie cutters and they held their shape wonderfully!! They are lightly sweet and soft to bite into!! Perfect for frosting.

[@aceofnothing7469]

I typically use 8-12 minutes at 350° for gingerbread cookies, I looked up several other recipes and they all say that that's the best :)

Great tip about leaving the doors and windows in while it bakes. I'm known in my family and friends circle as the Gingerbread Queen. I make about 500 every Christmas ( although I dialed it back to 300 this year) and give 90% away as gifts. I guess they are good because when I give them out, people act like I'm handing them gold bullion or something. Anyway...I'm clicking on Subscribe to your channel- You are a FABULOUS TEACHER. I love the way you describe what your doing and why, and all the excellent tips that come from LOTS of experience. Thanks.
