Time 2h30m

Yield 8 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated holiday gingerbread cookies
Decorating icing (from 6.4-oz aerosol can)
Multi-Bran Chex® cereal
Assorted small candies

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut cookie dough into 8 equal pieces. Work with 1 piece of dough at a time; refrigerate remaining dough pieces until needed.
  • For each cookie, cut 1 piece of dough into 3 equal slices. Place 2 slices side by side on ungreased cookie sheet; press into 3x3 1/2-inch rectangle (see photo). Place third slice on center of long side of rectangle; press slice into triangle for roof (house should be about 5 inches tall). Repeat with remaining dough making a total of 8 house shapes, 1 1/2 inches apart on cookie sheets.
  • Bake 8 to 11 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • Decorate with decorating icing; use cereal for shingles and candy for house features. Let stand until frosting is set, about 30 minutes. Store between sheets of waxed paper in tightly covered container.
  • There's no need for a cookie cutter because you form these adorable houses with your hands. Follow shaping directions in step 2.
