Instructions

Gingerbread dough: Take jaggery and butter in a bowl and beat till pale and creamy.
Mix in honey and egg.
Sift flour, ginger powder, all spices, baking powder, baking sodaandsalt. Add to the bowl.
Knead dough using hands till it comes together smooth and soft.
Wrap in a plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 180 degree Celsius.
Roll out dough 1/4 " thick and cut out desired shapes form it.
I used a templatefor the Gingerbread house. Cut out the template on a piece of thick paper/cardboard and use it to cut out shapes from the dough.
Place on a butter paper/parchment lined baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes or till they brown well.
Allow to cool.
Icing: Mix icing sugar with few drops of lemon juice and some milk to get a thick consistency good enough for piping.
Fill a piping bag/Ziplock/plastic bag with this icing and snip off the end.
Make desired design on all the pieces.
Use some icing to stick colourful sprinkles on the cookies. Leave to dry. Use the same icing sugar as a glue to join pieces of the gingerbread house
