Fragrant Cinnamon Ornaments

I found this last year and decided or had the time to try them this year! The boys and I made these last night for family night. They are super simple and the boys helped mix, roll, and cut out the ornaments. They smell really good and were a fun project to do with the kids!
Fragrant Cinnamon Ornaments
  • 6 tbsp applesauce
  • 10 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground cloves

Mix together all ingredients to form a dough. If dough is dry, add more applesauce.

Roll out dough to approximately 1/8" thick on a cinnamon sprinkled surface. Cut dough into desired holiday shapes using cookie cutters. Cut a hole in the top of each shape with a drinking straw or use a toothpick to make a hole large enough to string ribbon through.

Place shapes on a cookie sheet. Place in a 150 degree oven or the lowest setting (my lowest was 170 degrees) for 2 hours. After 2 hours, turn oven off and leave in oven for 5-6 hours or overnight. Tie ribbons through holes and use as ornaments or tie on packages!
