Christmas · baking · candy · edible art

Built from cookies. Gingerbread houses are made by baking gingerbread dough into pieces like walls and roofs, then assembling them like a real building.

Covered in candy. The walls and roofs get decorated with colorful candies, icing, and frosting to make them look festive and delicious.

Holiday tradition. These edible houses are especially popular as Christmas decorations because they're beautiful, fun to make, and taste amazing.

Two building styles. Some gingerbread houses are made with crispy baked cookies, while others use a soft boiled dough that can be shaped like clay for detailed decorations.
