Sprinkling the Christmas tree with lovely ornaments that resemble our favorite holiday cookies makes it an inviting place to enjoy some of the real ones with mugs of cocoa!
- 3/4 c. cinnamon
- 1 T. ground nutmeg
- 2 T. cloves
- 1 cup applesauce
- 2 T. ground allspice
Mix all of the ingredients together and roll out into a thin sheet. Cut with assorted holiday cookie cutters and punch a hole for hanging in each. To dry, place on a cookie sheet and bake in a low temperature oven (200 degrees F) for about 2 hours. Set them out on paper bags to finish air dying. These ornaments are good to coat with glue or shellac. Sprinkle them with glitter while they are still damp. String a ribbon through each hole for hanging once the ornaments are dry.
- Yields: about 12 ornaments
- Preparation Time: about 5 hours total
