CINNAMON & CLOVE SALT-DOUGH ORNAMENTS RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Provided by [email protected]

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 cup iodized table salt
2/3 cup ground cloves
2/3 cup ground cinnamon
1-1/4 cup water

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.

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 cup ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
¾ cup applesauce
2 tablespoons glue

Steps:

In a medium bowl, stir together the cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Mix in the applesauce and glue. Work the mixture with your hands 2 to 3 minutes to form a ball. If mixture is too wet, add more cinnamon. If mixture is too dry, add more applesauce.
Lightly dust a clean surface with cinnamon. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters, and use a toothpick to make a hole at the top for hanging with a ribbon.
Dry in a slow oven 200 degrees F (100 degrees C) for several hours, or air dry in a sunny spot for 4 or 5 days. When dry, decorate with gingham and/ or ribbon.

Tips:

For best results, use fresh herbs and spices. Dried herbs and spices can be used, but they will not be as flavorful.
If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this will make it tough.
If the dough is too sticky, add more flour. If the dough is too dry, add more water.
Bake the ornaments at a low temperature for a long time to ensure that they are dry and hard.
Once the ornaments are baked, let them cool completely before decorating them.
You can use any type of paint or marker to decorate the ornaments.
If you want to hang the ornaments on a tree, use a ribbon or string to attach them.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon clove salt dough ornaments are easy to make and a fun way to celebrate the holidays. They are also a great way to use up leftover herbs and spices. With a little creativity, you can make ornaments that are unique and special. So get creative and have fun!
