- Cookie Cutters (small)
Materials
- 1 Cup Applesauce

Instructions
- Mix applesauce and Cinnamon together until a dough is formed.
- If it still seems a bit soupy, add more cinnamon.
- Place dough on waxed paper and cover it with a piece of wax paper.
- Roll out dough to 1/4" inch thick and remove wax paper. (Thicker is better, as it dries in the oven as it reduces the chance of cracking or breaking).
- Use small cookie cutters and cut out shapes.
- Using a toothpick, make holes for stinging.
- In a 170 F – 200 F oven, allow ornaments to dry completely.
- Keep an eye on the ornaments, making sure they aren't curling at the edges or cracking.
