Making Cinnamon Ornaments
  • Place the cinnamon dough on parchment paper, and roll it out flat but not too thin.
  • Then, use cookie cutters to cut holiday shapes from the rolled-out dough.

  • Lay the shapes onto a cookie pan.  Then, use a straw or toothpick to pierce a hole into each one.  This will make the ornaments easy to string once they are done baking.

  • Once cool string your ornaments from the tree & enjoy!
