Equipment

  • Cookie Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Spoon
  • Bowl
  • Wax Paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • Cookie Cutters (small)

Materials

  • 1 Cup Applesauce
  • 3/4 Cup Cinnamon Add more, if needed.

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.
  • Allow the ornaments to cool completely before stringing.
