As part of our annual Christmas activities, we usually put together one of those $10 gingerbread houses you can buy from the grocery store. We tried making our own gingerbread house one year but were very quickly undone by the complexities working with the gingerbread dough. Not to mention, molasses is just disgusting. So, we abandoned that particular task and chose instead to use graham crackers, a good alternative to actual gingerbread in times of crisis. But graham crackers still weren't gingerbread, and when we saw the ready-to-assemble gingerbread houses at the grocery store, we chose to assemble one of them instead. And so, it's not as original as it could have been and the delicious embellishments are limited to the tiny packages of candy contained within the kit. But it still is a gingerbread house, and it still is the product of our handy work. So, voila! Gingerbread House Mahler! On display for a limited time!
Gingerbread men marzipan made by Neuhaus. My mom gave these to us before we left New York.
I still remember the very first time I ever had marzipan (it was at Fran's house and it was shaped like the usual fruit) and I've loved it ever since.
Thanks Mom!

I had a request for gingerbread cookies. The thought of making gingerbread other than at Christmas stuck me as odd, but I couldn't turn down such a specific request. I changed up the recipe to make them as un-Christmasy as possible.
