MOLASSES is what makes gingerbread dark, not the spice it is named after. The GINGER, CINNAMON, NUTMEG and CLOVES do the smell; the MOLASSES does the colour and most of the chew. Everything else in this word find is the part that happens on the counter: the DOUGH, the CUTTER, the ICING and the FROSTING that holds a house together.
Frequently asked questions
Why does gingerbread DOUGH need to chill?
Cold dough holds its edges. Roll it warm and the shapes spread in the oven, which matters if you want a house whose walls still meet.
What is the difference between ICING and FROSTING?
Icing is thin and sets hard, which is what glues gingerbread walls together. Frosting is thicker and stays soft, so it is for decorating rather than building.
