"HOME SWEET HOME" GINGERBREAD COTTAGE
I love to see the end of a project, like this Christmas cottage-but my favorite part is the process. It's fun to watch the gingerbread, icing and candy decorations come together creatively. -Johanna Rosson, Fort Hood, Texas

Steps:
- To make dough: In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup and butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until butter is melted. Combine the flour, cinnamon, ginger and salt; stir into brown sugar mixture (mixture will be stiff). Transfer to a small bowl. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle., Trace patterns onto waxed paper; cut out. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Position patterns on dough and cut out. Using a sharp knife, score outlines to mark windows and door where indicated on pattern, being careful not to cut all the way through dough. Using a toothpick, draw lines into dough to form bricks on all pieces except door area and roof. (Keep pieces covered to prevent them from drying out.), Transfer all cutouts to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until browned. Immediately replace patterns on cutouts and cut around edges to trim excess. Cut out windows completely. Cool on pans for 2 minutes before carefully removing to wire racks to cool completely., Return front of house to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon 1 teaspoon crushed candies into each window cutout. Bake at 400° for 3-4 minutes or until candy is melted. Cool completely on baking sheet before removing., Tint water with desired amount of red food coloring. Using paintbrush, paint mixture over each piece except door area and roof; blot gently with paper towels and let dry., To make icing: In a large bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, meringue powder and cream of tartar. Add water; beat on low speed just until combined. Beat on high for 4-5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Keep icing covered at all times with a damp cloth., To assemble frame of house: Working with a small amount of icing at a time, wipe icing over bricks using your fingertip. Immediately wipe gently with paper towels to remove excess., Place front of house on a flat surface. Tint a small amount of icing green and a small amount red. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert #4 round pastry tip. Fill the bag with white icing. Pipe lines to trim door and windows, and to form windowpanes. For door knob, attach dragee with icing., Using a #14 star tip and green icing, pipe garland along windows and a wreath on door. Using a #2 round tip and red icing, pipe berries on garland and a bow and berries on wreath. Pipe additional details as desired; sprinkle immediately with glitter. Let dry completely., Pipe icing along base and one side of front of house and the adjoining side wall. Place walls at right angles to each other on cake circle; prop with small cans. Pipe icing along inside and outside edges for added stability. Repeat with second side section and back. Let dry completely., For chimney: Pipe icing along one side of front of chimney and one adjoining side wall. Position at right angles to each other and place on waxed paper; pipe icing along inside edge for added stability. Hold in place until secure. Repeat with remaining sides. Let dry completely., To assemble roof: Generously pipe icing along top edges of house. Position roof pieces so there is equal overhang in front and back. Pipe icing along the joining edges. Prop bottoms of roof pieces with cans until roof is completely dry., On left roof piece, position chimney 1-3/4 inches from the front and 1-3/4 inches down from the top. Pipe dots of icing to mark the position of bottom chimney corners. Pipe icing onto the edges of chimney and attach to roof. Hold in place until secure, about 1 minute. Let dry completely. Center cap of chimney over chimney top, leaving a small overhang on all sides; attach with icing., To decorate roof: With tip #4, pipe icing along bottom of chimney side of roof. Press five Shredded Wheat pieces into icing in a row; repeat to cover both roof pieces. On one roof piece, pipe a line of icing along top row of Shredded Wheat; press a candy stick into icing. Repeat on other side., Attach four Shredded Wheat pieces along the peak of the roof with icing; arrange jelly beans along peak and an M&M at the front gable. Shape two miniature candy canes into a heart shape; attach to roof. Decorate as desired with heart sprinkles and additional icing., For finishing touches: Cover cake circle with icing. For shrubs, immediately place gumdrops in front of house. Spread with green icing; pipe berries with red icing., For sidewalk, attach red licorice pieces in front of door; place butterscotch candies for stepping stones. Brush licorice with a small amount of water; sprinkle with glitter. Break pretzel rods into pieces; stack at side of house for firewood. For smoke, carefully cut the jumbo peppermint stick to desired length; attach to chimney cap with icing. Hold in place until secure, about 1 minute.

Steps:
- Into a large bowl, sift together flour, spices, baking soda, salt, and pepper; set aside. In a large saucepan, melt shortening over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes. Whisk in sugar and molasses until well combined. Remove from heat, and stir in the flour mixture until just combined but still crumbly. If dough is still sticky, add a bit more flour.
- Turn out dough onto a large piece of plastic wrap, and wrap to enclose completely; let cool slightly, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide dough into two equal parts, and place on prepared baking sheets. While dough is still slightly warm, roll out gently but firmly to a 3/8-inch thickness. Cut out desired shapes, and remove excess dough from around cutters or templates.
- Bake 30 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
