The cookie doesn’t have to crumble that way.
Gingerbread houses are not unlike human egos: fragile and easily crumbled. Building one that doesn’t collapse into dust when you breathe on it requires a…let’s call it a substance known as “structural gingerbread.” You may want your walls to taste like a frosted cookie, but if you’re constructing the candy home from a grocery-store kit, you’ll be stuck with vaguely ginger-flavored cardboard.your very own structural gingerbread.
You’ll need to draw and then cut out guides for the walls, roof, and sides of your house. If you make these now, you’ll be able to see how the pieces all fit togetheryou can lay the guides out in the baking sheet to make sure you’ll have enough dough for your design.Once you’ve plotted out your shapes, whip up the dough . Then roll it out on a piece of parchment paper to make it easier to transfer to the baking sheet. Place the raw dough on the sheet and lay out your guides on top.
Enter: white chocolate. Unlike icing, white chocolate dries into a very firm solid—namely, back into solid chocolate. Once the gingerbread has cooled, start spooning dollops of melted white chocolate onto the edges of the walls, roof, and sides, working bit-by-bit. Assemble one corner, put it in the fridge to set, then add another wall, and so on. The roof goes on last, and needs plenty of chocolate along the peak to bind it all together.Make it look pretty
