Time 10m

Yield 10-14 decorations

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground cloves
3/4 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon fragrance oil (apple, cinnamon,range or your own choice)
2 tablespoons white craft glue

Steps:

  • Mix in a bowl the cinnamon and cloves.
  • Add to this applesauce, oil and the glue.
  • Knead this mixture for a few minutes til you have a firm but pliable dough.
  • Too wet, add more cinnamon--too dry, add more applesauce.
  • Roll the dough out on a surface dusted with cinnamon, 1/4 inch thick.
  • Cut out shapes with cookie cutters [x-mas tree, hearts, stars, etc].
  • Make a hole in the top with a wooden or metal skewer, this must be large enough for ribbon if you want them for hanging.
  • Air dry them for several days on paper kitchen towel, turning them over several times so they don't warp.
  • Impatient?.
  • A low oven [200°F] for a few hours will also do the trick, don't forget to turn them over.
  • When dry, decorate with a ribbon.
  • You can also use shallow plaster, cookie and candy molds, press the dough in the cavity, smooth with a rolling pin, ease out of the mold and cut away the excess dough.
  • Or roll out the dough, place a piece of decorative lace on the top, using the rolling pin go over it until it has left an impression of the lace, then cut out using the cookie cutters.
  • You also get a nice result using cookie stamps.
