Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your gingerbread will taste. If possible, use organic ingredients for the best flavor and quality.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make your gingerbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the gingerbread at a low temperature: A low oven temperature will help the gingerbread bake evenly and prevent it from burning.
- Decorate the gingerbread after it has cooled: Wait until the gingerbread has completely cooled before decorating it. This will help the frosting and decorations stay in place.
