To make these Mini Gingerbread House Treats, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 1/4 cup brown sugar

For the decorations:

To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses and egg yolk, and mix until well combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Let cool completely before decorating.
