Home Made Christmas - Cinnamon Ornaments

I just know my kiddos will enjoy decorating these tomorrow.

They smell great as they dry in my oven right at this moment.

Here is a simple and easy recipe for Cinnamon Ornaments

All ready on this sunny day!

3/4 cup applesauce
1 bottle (4.12 ounces) cinnamon
Supplies needed:
Cookie cutters
Drinking straw
Colorful ribbon

 1. Preheat oven to 200°F. Mix applesauce and cinnamon in small bowl until a smooth ball of dough is formed. (You may need use your hands to incorporate all of the cinnamon.) Using about 1/4 of the dough at a time, roll dough to 1/4-inch to 1/3-inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap. Peel off top sheet of plastic wrap. Cut dough into desired shapes with 2- to 3-inch cookie cutters. Make a hole at top of ornament with drinking straw or skewer. Place ornaments on baking sheet.

2. Bake 2 1/2 hours. Cool ornaments on wire rack. (Or, to dry ornaments at room temperature, carefully place them on wire rack. Let stand 1 to 2 days or until thoroughly dry, turning occasionally.)

3. Insert ribbon through holes and tie to hang. Decorate with opaque paint markers, found in arts and crafts stores, if desired.
