Ingredients

Cookie cutters or you can make your own templates

straws for making the hole in the top of the ornament

1-1/2 cups applesauce

2 cups ground cinnamon

Note: Bulk cinnamon from Costco or Sam's Club is less costly

If you want more fragrance then add

1 teaspoon each of ground cloves, ginger and allspice

I have never used pumpkin spice but it's a thought ;)

Decorate with: buttons, ribbon, icing, fabric or craft paint, sparkles, sequins, pipe cleaner...

Directions

You want to create a clay-like consistency with this mixture.

Dust hands with cinnamon when handling.

Roling the dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper makes it much easier.

If you choose not to use the following method, then allow the shapes to dry for at least 3 days before attempting to remove and decorate.

This step is not necessary but if you want the cut out shapes to dry faster, bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 150 degrees F. for 1 hour.

Remove the cut outs from the cookie sheets but be very careful and bake on either the oven racks or cookie racks for another 1-1/2 hours.

Remember not to roll the dough tinner than 1/4 inch if you are following this method of making.

These can be decorated when completely dried and if they lose the fragrance, you can always add a drop of cinnamon oil onto the ornament. I also like the smell of Oil of Theives if you can find it.

NOTE: It is difficult to say how many this recipe will make because it depends on the sizes of the shapes being cut out.
