Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cinnamon Spice Ornaments.
Step 1
Start by gathering all the delightful ingredients you'll need to create your festive ornaments.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix together the warm scents of ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg until they’re well blended.
Step 3
Next, add in the applesauce and glue, stirring gently until everything is fully combined into a fragrant mixture.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to get your hands in there! Knead the dough for about 2 to 3 minutes until it transforms into a smooth ball.
Step 5
If the dough feels a bit too sticky, sprinkle in some extra cinnamon; if it’s too crumbly, just add a touch more applesauce to get the right consistency.
Step 6
To prevent sticking, lightly dust a clean surface with cinnamon and roll out your dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 7
Use your favorite cookie cutters to create fun shapes from the rolled dough, and don’t forget to use a toothpick to poke a hole at the top of each ornament for hanging later.
Step 8
Once you’ve cut out all your shapes, place them on a baking sheet and dry them in a slow oven set to 200°F (100°C) for several hours.
Step 9
If you prefer a more natural approach, let them air dry in a sunny spot for 4 to 5 days.
Step 10
After they’re completely dry, unleash your creativity by decorating your ornaments with charming gingham fabric or colorful ribbons.
Step 11
Enjoy the process and the lovely aroma that fills your home as you craft these delightful decorations!.
