LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2021

HOUSE PARTY

Mini Shortbread Shacks These mini gingerbread-inspired houses are made using a shortbread cookie base, solid enough to hold up in construction but tender enough to eat without breaking a tooth. The vanilla buttercream keeps the houses together but doesn’t set as solid as classic royal icing. Decorate all the houses the same or make each one completely unique—the design and details are up to you.

While building these houses, you can hide extra candies and treats inside for guests to find.
