Applesauce Dough Cinnamon Ornament Recipe image

These ornaments smell so good that you'll want to eat them-- but resist. They don't taste very good, I can promise you that. This dough rolls out very easily, and the cinnamon dough ornaments will last for years.

Provided by Melanie Campbell

Categories     Other Non-Edibles

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp ground cloves
3/4 c applesauce, unsweetened
1 tsp essential oil (your choice)
2 Tbsp white craft glue cookie cutters or molds
straws
decorating materials
TIP: USE THE ESSENTIAL OIL OF YOUR CHOICE. TRY CINNAMON TO BRING OUT THE CINNAMON SCENT, OR APPLE TO MAKE APPLE-CINNAMON SCENTED CINNAMON ORNAMENTS. VANILLA-CINNAMON IS NICE, TOO!

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cinnamon and cloves. Add the applesauce, essential oil, and glue.
  • 2. Knead in bowl for a few minutes, until you have a firm, pliable dough. Add more cinnamon if the dough is too wet, more applesauce if it's too dry.
  • 3. Dust your work surface with cinnamon (just as you would with flour for regular cookies). Roll the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters, or press into a cookie mold. For molds, press dough into mold, smooth with rolling pin, remove, and cut away extra dough.
  • 4. While still moist, cut a hole in the top of each ornament with the end of a straw for hanging. Place ornaments on paper towels and air dry for several days. Carefully flip them several times while drying so they won't bend or warp.
  • 5. In a hurry? Instead of air drying, bake ornaments at 200 degrees F for about 3 hours, turning occasionally. Decorate!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cookie cutters to create different shapes and designs for your ornaments.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 millimeters) to ensure that the ornaments are sturdy enough to hold their shape.
  • Use a straw or toothpick to make a small hole at the top of each ornament before baking. This will allow you to thread a string or ribbon through the ornament to hang it on your tree.
  • Bake the ornaments for 8-10 minutes, or until they are just beginning to brown around the edges.
  • Allow the ornaments to cool completely before decorating them.
  • Use a variety of decorations to make your ornaments festive, such as sprinkles, edible glitter, or icing.
  • Store the ornaments in an airtight container in a cool, dry place until you are ready to use them.

Conclusion:

Making dough ornaments is a fun and easy way to add a personal touch to your holiday decorations. With a little creativity, you can create beautiful and unique ornaments that will be cherished for years to come. So get started today and make some dough ornaments for your tree!
