Mini Gingerbread House Mug Topper Recipe

🎄 Preparation:
➊ A mini gingerbread house template download link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16UvJW9EbfkjbUShTVKdqI1HlU194e-7c/view
➋ piping bags and nozzles, or make a parchment bag for piping, 2mm is for sticking, 1.5mm is for decoration
🎄 Yields: Can make 14~16 gingerbread houses

✎ Ingredients
🎄 For the cookies
unsalted butter 125g, softened
brown sugar 90g
molasses 58g
egg 1, at room temperature
all purpose flour 370g
baking soda 5g
salt 2.5g
grated ginger 10g
ground cinnamon 1.5g
nutmeg powder 1g

🎄 For the Royal Icing
vanilla extract 1.5g
powdered sugar 200g, sifted
powdered egg white 7.5g
warm water 25g~30g

✎ Instructions
🎄 For the cookies
1. In a large bowl, add butter, sugar and molasses, beat on mid-low speed, mix well until light and smooth.
2. Add egg and ginger, beat on medium speed until well combined. Scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl and beat again if needed to combine.
3. Sift the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg powder and salt.
4. Fold in all dry ingredients, continue to mix until well blended, the dough should come together.
5. Transfer the dough out onto a work surface and knead until the dough is smooth and combined. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour to chill.
6. Preheat the oven to 170°C.
7. Lightly flour the work surface and roll the dough to about 3mm thick.
8. Dust the dough lightly with flour to avoid sticking. Place the house pattern pieces on the dough, dip the knife into flour and cut out the pattern pieces from the dough (cut the door, but remove it after baking). You will need TWO of each shape.
9. Bake at 170°C for 10 minutes or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Large pieces will need more time.
10. Once baked, cut the door first, and then remove all cookies on racks to cool completely.

🎄 For the royal icing
1. Sieve the 200g of powdered sugar and 7.5g of powdered egg white in a bowl.
2. Add 1.5g of vanilla extract and 25g of warm water and beat at medium speed for 5 minutes.
3. Fill the Pastry Bag With Royal Icing. You will need at least two piping bags, one is for a thick line to glue the pieces of house together. Another one is a thin line to decorate the house. The royal icing is the best icing to use for gingerbread houses, it'll dry hard and last throughout the holiday season.

🎄 Assembling
1. Start with the front and the back pieces and two sides, then take the side piece and stick them together, do the same with the other side.
2. Grab the back piece and give it a nice firm. Then the base of the house is done. Wait for the icing sets before adding the roof.
3. Sticking the roof pieces in the same way, add lines of icing on all the edges, hold them together and allow the icing to set. It's probably best to let this dry overnight that way all the royal icing is definitely hard before decorating.
4. You can decorate with any pattern you like and custom detail. You can practice how to draw a line or draw a pattern on a board or plate before putting them on your house. But remember, once finished the decorating, please let the icing dry for a couple hours. Have fun.
