Found this on internet somewhere https://www.brit.co/gingerbread-cookie-recipe/ <very good and it works but
I had modify it.

Ingredients

Wet
1/2 c. unsalted butter
1/2 c. Shortening
2/4 c. or 2/8 c. Brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 c. Molasses
2 tsp. Vanilla

Dry
1 1/2 c. flour + 1/4 c. fiber flour
1tsp. baking powder
2/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
spice mix: 1 TB. Roasted Ginger powder, 1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp cloves

Handmixer, standmixer, wooden spoon, fork works well, or you can just wear pair of gloves and mix well in bowel.

Directions

Mix dry ingredients together add spice

mix wet ingredients together in then add dry together.

mix it well, should be creamy...

Let it rest for 4 hours for you be able to firm enough to make it into forms.
very pliable like clay...roll out with enough flour.
cut outs or even cut into squares my family enjoyed the square form.

Set before you do any preset oven 375/190
7 to 10 minutes in recipe I had to make cook the cookies to 13 to 15 minutes due to 1,200 feet so we had put them in longer. May want to put your cookies in longer to make certain they have darker brown edge then you know they are done they be crispy done.

It work better if they crispy even for gingerbread house.

Notes

I was thinking this cookie would work well for engraving or painting type style but I ran out time maybe someone else would take up torch and make into something more.

Royal icing is pretty easy to make but that something if want to take up.
Icing you just add confectioner sugar and milk depending on thickness, and adding flavor and color.

Royal icing you add egg white, or egg white powder it matters...because gives stiff peaks that last and depending if your adding color there are recipes online you can search for.

I left mine plain, if want to add fresh ginger to give more punch to taste...it not recommended its already spicy depending cinnamon your using. I am using Saigon cinnamon that is pretty much packing heat.
