DIY Easy Cinnamon Ornaments

I hope the holiday season is going wonderfully for you. I'm sure you've done all your decorating and have started on the cookies and treats. What a fun time of year, do you agree?

Today I'm going to share with you the most delicious-smelling homemade ornaments ever.   I've made these in the past and let me tell you, it will be a staple on your tree for years to come.

These Easy Cinnamon Ornaments are a simple & fun craft for kids (and kids at heart) that smell amazing hanging on your Christmas tree.

This particular recipe comes from McCormick.

INGREDIENTS 15 Servings 

• 3/4 cup applesauce
• 2 bottles (2.37 oz. each) McCormick® Ground Cinnamon
• Cookie cutters
• Drinking straw
• Colorful ribbon

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 200°F. Mix applesauce and cinnamon in a small bowl until a smooth ball of dough is formed. (You may need to use your hands to incorporate all of the cinnamon.) Using about 1/4 of the dough at a time, roll dough to 1/4-inch to 1/3-inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap. Peel off the top sheet of plastic wrap. Cut dough into desired shapes with 2- to 3-inch cookie cutters. Make a hole at top of the ornament with a drinking straw or skewer. Place ornaments on a baking sheet. 
2. Bake 2 1/2 hours. Cool ornaments on wire rack. (Or, to dry ornaments at room temperature, carefully place them on a wire rack. Let stand 1 to 2 days or until thoroughly dry, turning occasionally.)
3. Insert ribbon through holes and tie to hang. Decorate with opaque paint markers, found in arts and crafts stores, if desired.

TIPS AND TRICKS

Test Kitchen Tip: Or use 1 bottle (4.12 ounces) McCormick® Ground Cinnamon. If a larger size bottle of cinnamon is used, measure 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cinnamon.
