Cinnamon Christmas Ornaments

A cute and cheap Christmas ornament idea.

These smell amazing.  They're basically just salt clay dough with cinnamon added.  Here's the recipe:

**I know I found this recipe online a few years ago, but I cannot remember where I found it to give proper credit**

• 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 c. salt
• 1/2 c. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon oil (increase amount for more fragrant cookies) [I found this at Walmart on the aisle with the candles and incense, and it was $1 or less]
• 1 c. water
• Mix dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.  Add water gradually and stir continuously until completely absorbed.  Knead for a few minutes. Chill, covered, for 1 to 2 hours in the refrigerator before proceeding.
• Roll dough flat on parchment paper until 1/4 inch thick.  Cut designs with a cookie cutter or freehand with a small knife.  Pierce a hole in the top with the end of a chopstick.
• Place cookies on parchment paper.  Bake at 250 degrees for 1 to 3 hours.  Remove when very firm and set aside to cool.  Thread with string or ribbon and hang on tree.
