Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Krusteaz Gingerbread Cookie Mix with softened butter, the egg, and stevia. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the dough to achieve a firmer consistency. This extra flour helps the dough maintain its shape for gingerbread house pieces or detailed cookie designs.
If the dough feels too dry, mix in the tablespoon of water, one teaspoon at a time, until it holds together well but is not sticky.
Once the dough is ready, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness for cookies or 1/8 inch thickness for house pieces.
Cut the dough into desired shapes using cookie cutters or templates (for house walls/roofs). Transfer the pieces carefully to the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are firm. Keep a close eye to ensure smaller pieces do not overbake.
Let the gingerbread cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack. This step is crucial for the dough to firm up fully, making it sturdy for construction or decorating.
Decorate as desired with royal icing for gingerbread houses or enjoy as is for delicious cookies.
