Whether you are building an enchanted gingerbread village or a single chalet, Bernard's Gingerbread Dough and Royal Icing recipes will not let you down. They come from Hallmark cookie expert Bernard Shondell who has been sculpting in gingerbread for decades. This is his favorite gingerbread dough recipe for building gingerbread houses because it is firmer and holds its shape when baked. And this Royal Icing is the perfect choice for assembling and decorating gingerbread houses because it won't cause your house to soften or collapse, a hazard of other butter or shortening icings.

Tip: To create a Christmas chalet, base, tall trees and some extra cookies, you’ll need to double this recipe. If you just want to create the chalet with some cookies, one batch will be enough.
You can turn your gingerbread into adorable cookie faces featuring your friends, family and pets, too!
