I hate Gingerbread, how can I make a Sugar Cookie House?

Question

The recipe needs to be dense like gingerbread, but tasty like a sugar cookie.

Answer 1

Lindsey, if you don't like gingerbread, then how about making it from Graham Crackers? (I'd "glue" these two or three thick if I were you) I've never seen a sugar cookie recipe that will stand up (literally) to being made into a gingerbread house. On this page: http://www.forkandbottle.com/Kids/sugar_cookies.htm
it looks like they may have made the gingerbread house there from the Martha Stewart sugar cookie recipe they used for cut-outs, but I'm not sure. You could e-mail and ask them! :)

Answer 3

I like this recipe; it's for ice cream sandwich cookies: 1/2 C butter, at room temperature generous 1/2 cup sugar 1 egg, beaten 1 3/4 C all-purpose flour 1/4 C Cocoa powder (the unsweetened kind) Preheat the oven to 350. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg. Stir in the flour and cocoa powder to make a firm dough. Roll the dough out to 1/4 in on baking parchment (or a light sprinkling of powdered sugar). Cut out cookies using a 3 in round cookie cutter (you'd cut out your gingerbread house pattern). Bake for about 15 minutes. Leave on the baking sheets to cool. If you plan to eat the gingerbread house, I would recommend adding about a tablespoon of extra sugar, and maybe underbaking them by a minute or so. They aren't very sweet, and are fairly hard to stand up to the ice cream.
