Cinnamon Dough Ornaments

A richly scented ornamental cookie. These would be fabulous decorating a christmas tree, but don't try to eat them!

1 cup ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons white glue
3/4 to 1 cup water

Mix cinnamon and glue. Gradually add the water. Stir until a ball of dough forms. Roll out with rolling pin 1/4 inch thick and cut with cookie cutters. Poke a hole and let dry at room temperature for 1 to 2 days, turning over every 6-8 hours. If desired, decorate with white Royal Icing. Hang with ribbon and enjoy the fragrance!

Note: Yield depends on how big your cookie cutters are.

I had a heck of a time with this recipe. Yes, they smell good, but you're working with glue. My advice is to add the water slowly (even if it's dry, just wait and continue mixing) and let the dough sit awhile before adding more water or trying to roll out. After an hour and a half of trying to roll it out and make cut outs my dough was finally manageable. Good luck, they are a suptuous idea for the tree or for name tags! three stars

This is a great recipe. I made these a few years ago and the ornaments are still great. It is a really simple way to make really fragrant, great looking ornaments. I also used them as gift tags one year. I am planning on making them this year again with my 5 yr. son and my first graders at school. five stars

I loved the recipe; it was cheap , fast and easy. I found that if I kneaded the dough, it turned out really smooth! I put red bows at the necks of ginerbread men and bows in the hair of the gingerbread women. I used skinny gold ribbon as a hanger and plan to use these at my Christmas dinner table as a favor! I am also going to decorate a balsam wreath for the front door with these cinnamon delights! five stars

I made these, and they turned out really nice. I used whole coffee beans as embelishments to make buttons on the snowmen bodies.
I had to go to work though, and left a note on the cookies that said "not edible". My husband, knowing I am a good cook, though "I'll be the judge of that!" And he tried to eat one.
He called me at work, and said he just ate one of the most disgusting, and hard cookies ever! five stars

I love this dough it feels real good to the hands to work with and I,am so glad I did,nt use the other recipe.I doubled the batch and am making more I have a lot of great ideas.And yes the puff paint is the way to go but I found I had to pour it in the paint bottles and had to buy the kit that has the metal tips to be able to have better contol. five stars
