How to Make Oma's Gingerbread House
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two baking sheets.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half. Roll out each half on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out gingerbread house pieces (walls, roof, etc.).
- Place the cut-out pieces onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the gingerbread pieces cool completely on a wire rack before assembling the house.
- Once cool, decorate your gingerbread house with frosting, candy, and other festive decorations.
