One recipe makes approximately 15 ornaments. Do not eat these. 1 c. cinnamon
1 c. applesauce, room temperature
Cookie cutters in various shapes
Straws or toothpicks
Ribbon for ties
Mix together the cinnamon and applesauce until smooth. Turn out onto a surface sprinkled with cinnamon and roll out to 1/4 inch thickness or more. Using cookie cutters, cut out desired shapes. Use the straws or toothpicks to make holes for hanging. Line a cookie tin with wax paper. Carefully transfer ornaments to cookie tin. Let air dry 3 or 4 days turning often and carefully. When completely dry, thread narrow ribbon through hole for hanging. If you want to enhance the cinnamon smell, sprinkle ornaments with a few drops of cinnamon oil. The ornaments can be kept indefinately, just store in Ziploc bag.
