Gingerbread is older than Christmas baking. Medieval bakers made it with honey; American cooks switched to molasses, which is why the cookies here are dark and soft. The spices are the same in both: ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.

The house came from Germany. It caught on there after the Brothers Grimm published Hansel and Gretel in 1812, a story with a cottage made of bread and cake at its center. Today the roof is usually icing and gumdrops, and the fence is a row of peppermint sticks.

The gingerbread man who will not stop to be eaten first ran across an American children's magazine in 1875. He outran the old woman, the old man and a field of farm hands, and lost only to the fox.

Print it for the kitchen table while the dough chills, or play online until the timer goes off.
