Saved this recipe from a parent workshop with my oldest daughter. Very easy to whip up, and the kids LOVED to taste it along the way!! Used whatever leftover icing to "glue" gingerbread house ingredients with a clean popsticle stick to an empty 8oz. milk carton.

Tips:

To make assembling the house easier, construct the walls and roof separately before joining them together.
When baking the gingerbread, keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. The edges should be just starting to turn golden brown.
If you don't have a gingerbread house template, you can easily make one by tracing the outline of a house onto a piece of cardboard.
To make the royal icing, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until the icing is thick and glossy.
When decorating the house, let your creativity shine through! You can use candies, sprinkles, and other edible decorations to create a unique and festive gingerbread house.
