Gingerbread Season

Before you build your holiday gingerbread house, find out what's behind the molasses and brown sugar.

This record breaking house was constructed in 2013 at Traditions Golf Club in Texas. 60 feet by 42 feet and is 20.11 feet tall at its highest point. It was constructed using 1,800 pounds of butter, 7,200 eggs, 7,200 pounds of flour, 225 gallons of molasses and close to 3,000 pounds of brown sugar. Add to this 2,500 lbs of candy that are attached to it, totaling 35,823,400 calories!

For all things gingerbread - nobody does it better than Williams Sonoma. They have mixes, cookie cutters, DIY houses and several completed ready to ship including Snoopy - The Holiday Gingerbread House is a sweet gift or centerpiece, handcrafted with icing and gumdrops, ready to display and can be personalized.

Bring out home-baked cookies this holiday and watch everyone's face light up! Our Pillsbury Eat or Bake Limited Edition Gingerbread Cookie Dough is ideal - Experience the joy of no mixing, no measuring. If you can't wait until the cookies are done, the dough is safe to eat uncooked, right out of the package (look for our "safe to eat raw" seal). Makes about 27 servings.

Cute little gingerbread house. Big Enough for some bills, a credit card and a chapstick or keys - but not a phone.
