CINNAMON ORNAMENTS DOUGH
I have made several batches of this stuff. You can find recipes all over the internet, but this one works best for me. My favorites are the ones that really look like cookies (they make the kids and husbands crazy). This is a good craft project for kids too!

Steps:
- For decorating: Tulip puffy fabric paint in matte white, white acrylic paint, white glue, beads or glitter, cookie cutters.
- Pour cinnamon in a bowl and gradually add applesauce and stir until mixture forms a stiff dough.
- Using extra cinnamon as "flour" roll out the dough to 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
- Using a straw or skewer punch a hole at the top of the ornament.
- Bake at 200°F on a parchment lined baking pan.
- Until ornaments are very dry and very hard.
- Allow to cool to room temperature.
- The Tulip paint looks exactly like Royal icing so you can make inedible"cookies" to decorate your tree with (like those big Martha Stewart ones).
- They last a very long time and do not attract insects.
- If you use a cookie cutter that will imprint a design on your "cookies" you can use a dry paint brush with white acrylic paint to give your "cookies" a powdered sugar look.
- Or you can decorate your ornaments with beads and glitter to add sparkle to your holiday.
- Bottom line: they are easy and inexpensive to make, plus they smell GREAT!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200°F. In stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, salt, cloves, and cinnamon on low speed until well combined. Slowly add the water until the dough starts to come together. Move the dough to a floured work surface and knead until the mixture is elastic and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle it with a little flour until the stickiness is gone. (Be careful not to add too much flour, however, as it will dry out the dough and cause it to crack.) Using a rolling pin that's been dusted with flour, roll out the dough until it's about 1/4" thick. Then, use cookie cutters to cut the dough into shapes. Make a hole towards the top of each shape with a straw. Move the ornaments to an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 2 hours. Transfer the ornaments to a cooling rack and allow them to harden. (This could take one or two days.) After they're dry, you can decorate the shapes, if desired. Then, spray with a couple layers of shellac to preserve. When dry, thread a piece of ribbon through the hole at the top for hanging and tie.
Tips:
- Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to an even thickness. This will help the ornaments cook evenly.
- Cut out the ornaments using a cookie cutter. If you don't have a cookie cutter, you can use a knife to cut out shapes.
- Place the ornaments on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Bake the ornaments at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Let the ornaments cool completely before decorating them.
- Use a variety of decorations to make your ornaments unique. You can use sprinkles, glitter, icing, or even candy.
- Hang your ornaments on a tree or give them as gifts.
Conclusion:
Cinnamon ornaments are a fun and easy way to decorate for the holidays. They are also a great way to use up leftover cinnamon dough. With a little creativity, you can make cinnamon ornaments that are unique and beautiful. So get started today and make some cinnamon ornaments for your home or to give as gifts.
