Sugar cookie house

The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to embrace the festive spirit than by indulging in a classic Christmas tradition – decorating a gingerbread house! If the idea of creating an elaborate gingerbread house feels a bit overwhelming, I got you. I designed this cookie set for simplicity without compromising the magic.

These buttery, delicious cookies are perfect for decorating and are a tasty treat for parties or gifting. I like adding both lemon extract and zest to give the cookie dough a bright flavor. Decorating the cookies with royal icing made with meringue powder makes a beautiful finish that dries hard and stays intact even if you are sending them to a loved one.See Cardamom Variation in the Notes!

Chewy Chocolate Sugar Cookies that are quick and easy to make. There’s no chilling the dough, so they’re ready to roll and bake in minutes. And they won’t spread when baked – making them perfect for decorating. A holiday favourite in my house! Recipe from sweetestmenu.com #sugarcookies #christmasbaking
