Best Cinnamon Dough Ornaments Recipes

CINNAMON & CLOVE SALT-DOUGH ORNAMENTS RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°F. In stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, salt, cloves, and cinnamon on low speed until well combined. Slowly add the water until the dough starts to come together. Move the dough to a floured work surface and knead until the mixture is elastic and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle it with a little flour until the stickiness is gone. (Be careful not to add too much flour, however, as it will dry out the dough and cause it to crack.) Using a rolling pin that's been dusted with flour, roll out the dough until it's about 1/4" thick. Then, use cookie cutters to cut the dough into shapes. Make a hole towards the top of each shape with a straw. Move the ornaments to an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 2 hours. Transfer the ornaments to a cooling rack and allow them to harden. (This could take one or two days.) After they're dry, you can decorate the shapes, if desired. Then, spray with a couple layers of shellac to preserve. When dry, thread a piece of ribbon through the hole at the top for hanging and tie.

CINNAMON ORNAMENTS DOUGH

Steps:

• For decorating: Tulip puffy fabric paint in matte white, white acrylic paint, white glue, beads or glitter, cookie cutters.
• Pour cinnamon in a bowl and gradually add applesauce and stir until mixture forms a stiff dough.
• Using extra cinnamon as "flour" roll out the dough to 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
• Cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
• Using a straw or skewer punch a hole at the top of the ornament.
• Bake at 200°F on a parchment lined baking pan.
• Until ornaments are very dry and very hard.
• Allow to cool to room temperature.
• The Tulip paint looks exactly like Royal icing so you can make inedible"cookies" to decorate your tree with (like those big Martha Stewart ones).
• They last a very long time and do not attract insects.
• If you use a cookie cutter that will imprint a design on your "cookies" you can use a dry paint brush with white acrylic paint to give your "cookies" a powdered sugar look.
• Or you can decorate your ornaments with beads and glitter to add sparkle to your holiday.
• Bottom line: they are easy and inexpensive to make, plus they smell GREAT!

CINNAMON DOUGH ORNAMENTS

Steps:

• Mix cinnamon, apple sauce and glue together in a bowl. The dough should be as thick as cookie dough. Add a bit of water if the dough is too stiff.
• Remove from bowl and knead. Put it back in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap, and let sit for at least half an hour.
• Remove the dough and knead again to make sure it's smooth. Flatten/roll dough between sheets of waxed paper until it's between 1/4 & 1/8 inch thick. Cut out in desired shapes, use a straw to punch a hole for the ribbon to hang.
• Gently place the shapes on a clean sheet of wax paper. They will take 3-5 days to dry and you will need to turn them a couple of times a day for them to dry evenly and flat. When dry, thread a piece of ribbon or yarn through the hole to hang.
• Note: Ornaments may shrink during the drying process. You can decorate as you like with acrylic or fabric paints
