Cinnamon Salt Dough Ornaments
Many years ago, I made cinnamon salt dough ornaments with my daughter. She was so young; she barely remembers it. However, every year when we take them out of the Holiday decorations, we are greeted by that cinnamon smell. This is an Ornament Not Food.
Equipment
- Half Sheet Pan
- Silicone Spoon
- Glass Mixing Bowl
- Cookie Scoop
Materials
- 1 Cup Flour
- 1/2 Cup Salt
- 1/2 Cup Water
- 2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
- Baking Sheet
- Cookie Cutters
- Ribbon to hang ornaments
- Straw or something else to poke holes in ornaments prior to baking.
Estimated Cost $6.50
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250degrees Fahrenheit. Combine all ingredients, you might have to use your hands to get the last bit of the flour incorporated into the water.
- Make a ball of dough and roll to about ¼ inch thick. I lightly floured the board to keep the dough from sticking.
- Cut out the dough into shapes using cookie cutters. Use all the dough; keep rolling out the small scraps of dough making the ornaments until all the dough is gone.
- Use the straw to make the hole for hanging. What happensis that the dough gets pushed up inside the straw and you are left with a cleanhole. You can quickly move to the next ornament and make the next hole.
- Place the ornaments on a cookie sheet that has either parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet on it. Bake at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 ½ hours.
- Put a piece of ribbon or stringthrough the hole and hang or give as a gift.
