SCENTED APPLESAUCE-CINNAMON ORNAMENTS

Steps:

• Mix applesauce and cinnamon together until it is thick enough to hold a form when cut into cookie cutter shapes. Flatten the mixture on a flat surface and cut into cookie cutter shapes.
• Place cookie shapes on a cookie sheet to dry for 3 to 4 days depending on the size and thickness of the cookies. If using as a hanging ornament, make hole with toothpick before drying.

CINNAMON ORNAMENTS DOUGH

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!

CINNAMON APPLESAUCE HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS

Steps:

• Line a strainer with cheesecloth or paper towels and place over a large bowl.
• Pour applesauce into strainer and let it drain for about 8 hours.
• There will be at least a cup of liquid to drain off (if you're in a hurry, you may eliminate this step, but you will need about 3 or 4 ounces extra cinnamon to get a firm dough) Starting with half of the cinnamon, add to the applesauce and stir until blended.
• Gradually add more cinnamon until dough is stiff enough to roll out.
• You may not need the entire amount of cinnamon called for.
• Place portion of the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap or wax paper and place another sheet on top of this.
• Use a rolling pin, and roll to 1/4-inch; thickness.
• Peel off the top sheet of plastic wrap.
• Cut into shapes using seasonal cookie cutters.
• Carefully slide a spatula under the cut cookie shapes and carefully place each of these on a baking pan coated with Pam.
• Next, use a toothpick and poke a hole near the top of each shape (for threading with hanging-ribbon later).
• Make sure the hole is big enough to accommodate the ribbon as it will shrink quite a bit during the baking.
• Run the toothpick around the edges of each ornament, smoothing any uneven edges, if necessary.
• Place in 175°F oven for 6 to 8 hours, until firm and dry (your house will smell wonderful during this time!) Remove "cookies" carefully and cool completely.
• You may decorate with glue, glitter, paint, etc. (I prefer these without decoration) Lace with ribbon, tie off at top & hang on tree.
