A Non Cookie Related Idea

Cinnamon "Cookie" Ornaments
I did not bake a cookie today...ugh FAIL! But today work called, and called and called. It's a good thing, I love being busy this time of year.
Since I did not bake I thought this would be a great day to share another type of recipe with everyone. This is so simple you will smack yourself in the head wondering why you never thought of it.
Cinnamon Applesauce Dough recipe #2
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup store-bought applesauce
  • 1 cup ground cinnamon
Mix ingredients, knead, roll out and cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
Use a drinking straw to form a hole at top before drying.
After dry (in about two days depending upon temperature and humidity in the room), you can craft paint details and thread a ribbon or other tie through the hole for hanging.
 I tried putting them in a low oven but they curled a little.
That's it! Decorate or "ice" with puffy paints, small beads, whatever you want. Be sure to poke a little hole into the tops of each "cookie" so you can hang them on your tree. They smell amazing for weeks too.
