Best recipe for gingerbread houses?

54mamaGobbler

Every year I make houses for my own kids and my nephews (ages 3-20!) and we spend an afternoon decorating houses. I have a gingerbread cookie recipe I love for making cookies which is what I have always used for my houses, but it does spread more than I like for building construction. 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.
