Cinnamon Dough
1/4 c. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
About 2 Tbsp. applesauce
- Pour the cinnamon and cloves into a small bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon of applesauce and mix into the cinnamon. Add
applesauce a little at a time until you have a stiff dough (do not add
too much applesauce!)
- Roll the dough about 1/4" thick and cut with cookie cutters. If you
wish to hang your pretend cookies on the Christmas tree, don't forget to
make a hole in the top with a straw or toothpick.
- Place on a wire rack or cookie sheet and put in a warm spot to dry.
(They could take several days to dry completely-the top of the
refrigerator is usually a good place). Turn the pretend cookies over
periodically so that they will dry without warping.
- Use a ribbon or string to hang pretend cookies from the tree.
They can be saved from year to year if wrapped in tissue and stored
flat.
