It occurred to me that since we don't eat our houses, I don't actually care what the cookie tastes like, just how it cooks up. Does anyone have a recipe they are willing to share for gingerbread with very minimal spread? Thanks in advance.

I betcha Tunde has a good one in her books: http://cookieconnection.juliau...-from-tunde-dugantsi
I also have a construction-grade gingerbread in my book Ultimate Cookies, and also on my app. Even my non-construction-grade gingerbread holds up very well, especially if you thinly coat the back of the panels with royal icing. Link to my books/app: https://www.papertrell.com/app...=37&platformid=3
