Mmmm mmmm ornaments

I found this recipe online this summer. It takes a TON of cinnamon, but it smells SOOOOO good, and yet you don't have to worry about it going to your hips cuz you don't eat these "cookies". My girls had so much fun cutting out the shapes and making ornaments! We tried decorating with candies, but the glue/applesauce kinda melted them. Still, melted silver drages looked pretty cool. And, every time I walk by them, I just inhale and enjoy the smell of Christmas...

I don't have pictures of us making these ornaments, nor the ones I made with Megan's classmates at preschool last week. We were having too much fun (and I was suprivising too much) to pull out the camera. Maybe next year...

Cinnamon Ornaments

1 1/2 cups ground cinnamon
1 cup applesauce
1/3 cup white school glue (Elmer's)

Mix above in bowl until it forms a dough. Let rest for about 30 min. Roll out on wax paper and cut out with cookie cutters. Use a straw to create a hole to hang as an ornament. Can decorate while dough is still wet or after dry (I actually mixed glitter in with the dough and that looks really cool!). Allow to dry for several hours, turning to get even (and flat) drying.
