Cinnamon Spice Christmas Ornaments

This is a fun recipe to make, especially with the kiddos.  We made these many years ago, when I was troop leader for Otter's Brownie troop and the girls had a blast with it.

Cinnamon Spice Christmas Ornaments

1 Cup Applesauce
1 Cup Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Nutmeg
1 Teaspoon Allspice
1 Teaspoon Cloves

Mix above ingredients until dough forms.  Knead a little if necessary, and if too wet you can add more cinammon.  Then roll to 1/4" thick.  Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters - I suggest you do this step on wax paper.  Use a straw to poke a hole so you can insert a hanger or thread after drying.  Allow to air dry for 4 days, turning over each day.  Depending on the humidity of your area, it might take more or less days for the ornaments to harden enough.  They will need to be stored in sealed containers such as a ziploc bag, because they can draw ants that will be attracted to the sweetness.  They smell lovely!
