I made these molded ornaments out of cinnamon salt dough (a faux gingerbread) as just a way to use up extra dough when I was making salt dough gingerbread houses, but this experiment was the real winner! I love how they turned out, so I made them again to film a quick tutorial. They are super easy to make and can be used for many years. They would also make great gifts.
Recipe -
1 cup all-purpose flour (plus a little more for dusting and if flour is too wet)
1/2 cup table salt
3/4 cup ground cinnamon
3/4 cup of water (plus a little more, if dough is too crumbly)
Mix together all ingredients until they are combined. Dump onto a lightly floured surface and knead. Add more water or flour 1 teaspoon at a time until dough holds together when squeezed in your fist.
Press into a mold with your hand and cut off extra with a bench scraper (or a knife.) Gently lift dough out of the mold and put on a baking sheet. Poke a hole at the top of each ornament.
Bake at 200 degrees for 30 minutes with the tops facing up, then turn over and cook for another 30 minutes. Allow to cool on a cooling rack. Thread ribbon or twine through the hole with a tapestry needle.
