Crafty cinnamon cookie ornaments

8 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon Ground cloves
1 tablespoon Ground nutmeg
¾ cup Applesauce
2 tablespoons Aleene's Tacky Glue
Ribbon or Gold Cord

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Stir in applesauce and glue. Work mixture with hands for 2-3 minutes to form a ball. If mixture is too dry, add more applesauce; if too wet, add more cinnamon.

Knead on a cinnamon-sprinkled surface until dough holds together well.

Divide into four equal portions; roll out each to ¼" thickness. Cut with cookie cutters. Place on cookie sheet. Use a pencil to make a small hold in the top of each for hanging, being sure hold goes all the way through.

Air-dry ornaments.|Turn over from time to time to ensure even drying ( it will take about 4-5 days). For faster results, place ornaments in sunlight or dry in a warm overn (250-300 F. ) for several hours. When ornaments are dry, insert ribbon or gold cord through hold and tie ends into a knot. If desired, tie another length into a bow near ornament top. Yield: 8 ornaments, about 6" each. THESE ARE NOT EDIBLE!!! MC formatting by bobbi744@...
