Holiday Baking- Cinnamon Ornaments
I am in the middle of holiday baking right now. I’m having a “gala” at my house on Christmas Eve, playing hostess to I think 20 guests.
I ran out of flour so I’m waiting for hubs to get back from the store. I need 12 more cups!
Have you ever made Cinnamon Spice Ornaments?
The ornaments are easy to make and their aroma lasts long after the holidays are over. Yum!
Here is a recipe I found:
Makes 12 to 15 ornaments.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 2 1/2 hours, or 1 to 2 days drying time
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup applesauce
1 cup plus two tablespoons ground cinnamonSupplies needed:
cookie cutters
drinking straw
colorful ribbonDIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 200°F.2. Mix applesauce and cinnamon with hands in small bowl until a smooth ball of dough is formed. 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 cookie cutters. Make a hole in top of ornament with drinking straw. Place ornaments on baking sheet.
3. Bake for 2 1/2 hours. Cool ornaments on wire rack.. (Or dry ornaments at room temperature, on a wire rack. Let stand 1 to 2 days or until thoroughly dry, turning occasionally.)
4. Insert ribbon through holes and tie to hang.
I wouldn’t mind having lots of these all over the house!

I keep meaning to make these but have been busy, maybe on Christmas eve day? I have heard that some people add glue to the recipe, did you ever try it that way? I’m not sure which recipe to try but I really should make some with the kids.
