*Now Updated!*  I added a printable template for the windows, shutters, and the door, as suggested by one of my readers.

I typically make mostly A-frame gingerbread houses (printable templates here) for all the kids in my girls' classrooms, scout troops, etc.  It's just faster and easier when you're doing it for a crowd.  But if I have a little extra time, this is what I think of as my chalet gingerbread house shape.  

Gingerbread House Recipe and Baking Instructions

You can find my favorite gingerbread house recipe--the one we've used to bake thousands (yes thousands!) of gingerbread houses over the decades, and the one I used on Food Network's Holiday Gingerbread Showdown--on this post.  Today's post is just about the printable chalet style gingerbread house templates.

It's a little whimsical, with its angled-in walls--just right for evoking the magic of the holiday season and a house made entirely out of cookies and icing.

So if you're looking for a more traditional gingerbread house shape than the A-frames I provided printable templates for yesterday, this post is for you.
