Scented Gingerbread Ornaments

I am itching to get my Christmas tree up, but I try to let Thanksgiving come before I get too carried away, that and the Mr. won’t allow it. Instead of setting up the tree, I’ve been working on the trimmings. I made a bunch of these adorable scented gingerbread men ornaments. They smell divine and look so perfect on a trimmed tree. Plus, I’m joining with a bunch of talent bloggers to bring you tree trimming ideas!

Supplies:

• 1 1/3 cup cinnamon
• 1 cup flour
• 1 1/4 cup applesauce
• gingerbread men cookie cutters (or any shape you’d like to use)
• white paint for embellishments
• wax paper
• String or ornament hooks

Start by mixing cinnamon, flour and applesauce until moistened.

Roll out between two sheets of wax paper.

Remove a layer of wax paper, cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Poke a hole in tope for string or hook.

Dry by laying on a paper bag, turning a few times a day for two to three days. 

Makes about 40 small gingerbread men. Amount will depend on size of cookie cutters.

String up and trim the tree.
