Anyway, way back in September I ordered this mini gingerbread house cookie cutter from cheapcookiecutters.com and I was too excited to use it! I forced myself to wait until xmas, but now that I've used it I'm kind of tempter to make sugar cookies houses or something. Just because.....
I baked these cookies two ways, I cut them into the pieces (which I ended up preferring)

Cut into house pieces before baking. |

Baked and then cut. |
And for the royal icing I used this recipe:
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 cups icing sugar
You want the royal icing to be very thick otherwise you're houses won't stay up!
Keep in mind that the walls go on the OUTSIDE of the front and back pieces otherwise your roof pieces will not fit (I learned this the hard way).
Merry Christmas Eve every one!
