These weren't that pretty but I loved the flavor combo

Gingerbread Bars (Land O Lakes)

1 cup butter
1 egg
3 tablespoons molasses
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger

Heat oven to 350.
Combine sugar, butter, egg and molasses. Beat until creamy.
Add flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon and ground ginger. Beat until well mixed.
Press dough into ungreased jelly roll pan.
Sprinkle with colored sugar or plain sugar, if desired.
Bake for 16-20 minutes or until edges start to brown.
Cool completely. Cut into desired shapes or into bars.

Gingerbread Houses

I invited a couple of girls over from church and we decorated gingerbread houses. I made one from scratch with my gingerbread mold - had to use super glue to get it to stick together. I also bought a cheap kit and we assembled that one too.
The girls had sooo much fun. They weren't the prettiest but that wasn't what mattered.
They decided on two people that they wanted to go and sing too and give the gingerbread houses to.
