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:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before rolling and cutting helps to prevent the ornaments from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a variety of cookie cutters: You can use any shape of cookie cutter you like to make your ornaments. Get creative and have fun!
  • Decorate your ornaments: You can decorate your ornaments with icing, sprinkles, or other decorations. Be creative and have fun!
  • Make a hole for hanging: Before baking, use a straw to make a small hole at the top of each ornament. This will allow you to thread a ribbon or string through the ornament so that you can hang it on a tree.
  • Bake the ornaments at a low temperature: Bake the ornaments at a low temperature (250 degrees Fahrenheit) for 10-12 minutes. This will help to prevent them from browning too much.

Conclusion:

These ornament dough recipes are a great way to get into the holiday spirit. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. Whether you are making them for yourself or as gifts, these ornaments are sure to bring joy to everyone who sees them.
