Christmas Spice Ornaments Recipes

HOMEMADE CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
• Mix the above 3 ingredients until combined thoroughly. I will add that the recipe calls for 4 cups of flour, but I probably had to add another 1/2 to 3/4 cups of flour to get a consistency that was pliable enough to roll with the rolling pin without being sticky.
• Roll out with rolling pin until it is about 1/4 in or less thick.
• FYI-depending on the size of the cookie cutter you may get more or less ornaments.
• Use cookie cutters to make individual ornaments.
• Place on cookie sheet, make a hole at the top for the ribbon to go through and bake for 2 hours at 200 degrees. Do not turn the ornaments over. However I do turn over once they are out of the oven so that the it dries completely.
• Once dried, paint and design as desired, place ribbon and hang on tree!

NON-EDIBLE CINNAMON ORNAMENTS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Mix in the applesauce and glue. Work the mixture with your hands 2 to 3 minutes to form a ball. If mixture is too wet, add more cinnamon. If mixture is too dry, add more applesauce.
• Lightly dust a clean surface with cinnamon. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters, and use a toothpick to make a hole at the top for hanging with a ribbon.
• Dry in a slow oven 200 degrees F (100 degrees C) for several hours, or air dry in a sunny spot for 4 or 5 days. When dry, decorate with gingham and/ or ribbon.
