Not Quite a Gingerbread House Just Yet

Today was a bake day as I have been feeling totally fed up of uni.
I have so little time left but am feeling so done with it all.
Had a mini meltdown when Logs home. He always manages to make me feel better, and then he puts the kettle on.
In between my blubbing I did some baking. My therapy of choice.
Ill admit it was minimal effort, a friend had given jars out as Xmas prezzies which included chutney in one, jam in another and gingerbread mix in the last. We all also received a mini bottle of skittles vodka, homemade of course.
So my normal baking was not done. I literally added syrup, egg yolk and butter. Mushed it together with her jar of dry mix and then chilled for 20 mins.
Rolled out and cut out discs.
The bake time given was 8mins but they took about 20! And then I covered them in icing.
As I said very minimal effort.
But it matches today's minimal effort mood.

Hopefully a better day tomorrow, in the meantime.. Cheat ginger biscuit and a glass of milk!
