Easiest method of rolling and baking Gingerbread pieces

  • This is an easy way to roll-out, transfer and bake your pieces.
    • Aluminum Foil - buy lots of it.
    • Cut a piece of foil the same size as your cookie sheet.
    • Swipe your counter/table with a damp sponge.
    • Lay the foil on top of the damp counter/table. This will prevent the foil from slipping around (too much water and the foil will slip - experiment and find the amount you need).
    • Sprinkle the foil with flour, roll-out your dough, cut your pieces, lift the entire piece of foil onto your cookie sheet and bake.
    • When done in the oven, remove the cookie sheet, transfer the foil to a flat surface (counter/table top works well) to let cool.
    • Use a fresh piece of foil for each roll-out.

    If it wasn't for this trick, I wouldn't be making Gingerbread Houses!
