Yo's Gingerbread Recipe

Gingerbread cookies are a Christmas classic. Yo’s Gingerbread Cookies recipe is super simple to follow and makes for the yummiest, softest, and chewiest cookies ever.

Gingerbread House CAKE

This gingerbread house cake is the best of both worlds with its gingerbread cookie exterior and chocolate gingerbread cake interior! Your gingerbread men are sure to have the coolest houses on the block.

For this gingerbread house cake, we started by making a Chocolate Ginger Cake, then stacked the cake layers with alternating red and green Italian Meringue Buttercream . Once the cake is iced, build the gingerbread house cookie walls around the cake - using the icing as glue and adding more when needed. Once the house is built, it’s time for the fun part - decorating! Try sweet candy, chocolate chips, cotton candy, and even edible glitter to make your gingerbread cookie house your own!
