cinnamon ornaments

I first saw these on Superheros and Princesses and she linked to Little Page Turners. I thought these looked cute and would be fun to make with Little Bit. She loves it when we break out the cookie cutters!

Ingredients:

1 cup + 2 tbsp cinnamon

3/4 cup applesauce

Directions:

Mix cinnamon and applesauce together until dough forms. You'll need to use your hands at the end. Roll the dough out between 2 sheets of wax or parchment paper until it is about 1/3 inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters and use a straw to punch holes for the ribbon. I used a little spatula to help get the cut outs up without them tearing apart.

Bake at 200 degrees for 2.5 hours.

Let cool and then use twine or ribbon to hang ornaments. {What a wonderful smell your house will be filled with while these are baking!}

Little Bit wanted to give some away....so here is a little gift for our wonderful children's librarian. {Some yummy sugared pecans are in the bag!}

And of course we had to hang a few on our tree! {A friend of mine says she made some 11 years ago and they are still holding up and even still smell!}
