I have made these ornaments last year and i ADDED some cinnamon oil (the kind you make suckers with) just a few drops. and the ornaments still have a lot of smell to them. We are making them again this year so we can put them on packages. When we made these last year the Cinnamon DID NOT stain the counters like i thought they would. I would recommend this to everyone who has children big or small. This is a fun project.

Added ingredients exactly as described. Made them 1/2" thick and had 10 ornaments. After cutting, placed on a parchment lined baking sheet for the 1st day. Removed from sheet and placed on cookie rack and allowed to dry. Turned each day and it took 7 days for them to dry thoroughly. Used puff glitter paint to decorate. Was presented this Rosemary plant as a thank you for hosting Thanksgiving brunch and as a lark just hung some of the ornaments to take a picture. Thanks for the recipe!

We made them a little thicker when we rolled them out. We used gingerbread men cutouts. CUTE!

Just adorable Susan! I remember my own kids making these in school as Christmas gifts for us and have always treasured them. Altho the scent is long gone, to this day, they still hang on my tree. I decided to make these with my sweetie's grandchildren over the weekend and each little ornament turned out so cute. The kids had a blast and thank you Susan!

Wow this was incredibly hard to work with. I ended up leaving it sit covered with plastic wrap overnight and it did get marginally better to roll out. Found a much better recipe somewhere that works much much better. The smell was wonderful!

We had so much fun making these cinnamon ornaments! I doubled the recpe and it made quite a few. I used cheap cinnamon apple sauce plus all the spices and I did not add the glue because as others stated it was not necessary. My four year old had a blast cutting these out. We decorated them with glitter glue and they are adorable! I can still smell the cinnamon. I think I might make another batch today so we can give some away to the grand-parents. Also, I bought cinnamon at walmart for fifty cents a bottle. Makes a great homemade gift and well worth the cost of cinnamon!

These were great! Very easy, and held their shape well! I will be sanding the edges because they are very rough. I dried them in the 200 degree oven for about 2 or 3 hours and left them on the cookie sheet for a day or so to finish drying. My 18 yo son thought he was being sneaky and ate one....said "I didn't want to tell you that these cookies are horible!...I thought they needed frosting to taste good!" We got a good laugh out of that!

Great project. My house smells wonderful! You can buy cinnamon much chepaer at Sam's Club. I found it to be so easy to roll the "dough" between pieces of waxed paper.
