Description

Ingredients

• ¾ cup applesauce
• 1 - 1¼ cup ground cinnamon (about 2 bottles)
• Cookie cutters
• Drinking straw
• Colorful ribbon or bakers twine

Directions

• Preheat oven to 200°F.
• Start by mixing up 1 cup of cinnamon and the applesauce in a small bowl. The mixture will be soft but add more cinnamon, a little at a time, until its not too sticky and you can form a ball with it.
• Dust a smooth surface with more cinnamon and also dust the top of the ball to get ready to roll out your dough.
• Roll it out evenly to about ¼ thick. I used my cookie guide sticks from my EZ Dough set to roll it out evenly.
• Then cut out your shapes and lay them on a parchment lined cookie sheet. I did all stars but you could do any shape... snowmen, snowflakes, Christmas trees, candy canes... the sky is the limit! (I had to ball my dough back up and roll it out again a couple of times to use up all the dough)
• Use a drinking straw to poke a hole in each ornament before baking!
• Once you have them all ready, pop them in the oven and let them bake away slowly for 2 hours! I think I ended up with around 15 ornaments total (two different size stars).
• Let them cool and the only thing left to do is add a ribbon or twine and hang them on your tree!
