Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  • In  medium pot, over medium-low heat, mix light corn syrup, light brown sugar and margarine together, stirring constantly until all margarine is melted.
  • Stir the margarine mixture into the dry mixture and stir well. Mix with hands as dough becomes stiff. Chill the dough for about 10 – 15 minutes. 
  • Roll the dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness on lightly floured surface and cut into desired shapes. * I would recommend using a pattern or template form a book
  •  Bake for 12- 15 minutes or until golden brown. Check periodically for air bubbles during baking and poke them with a toothpick or cake tester during baking process.
  • When baking is done, allow house pieces to cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a large cooling rack. Make sure all pieces lie flat.
