Re: recipe wanted

> does anyone have a recipe for cookie christmas tree ornaments?

I found it!  Here's the recipe for those nice-smelling ornaments!

CINNAMON SPICE ORNAMENTS

2 cups unsweetened applesauce
4 tbsp powdered cloves
1/3-cup cinnamon
2 tbsp nutmeg
(then) 1/2-cup nutmeg
6 tbsp ginger

Mix all ingredients except 1/2-cup nutmeg until dough is formed.  Add more
nutmeg until dough is firm.  Roll out to 1/2" thick.  Use cookie cutter to
make shapes, use straw to make holes.  Dry 3-4 days, then add yarn or string
to hang.

(NOTE) This recipe was copied from a blackboard by my son in 2nd or 3rd
grade.  I have not made it myself, but the ornaments HE made at school (4-5
years ago) still have a nice scent!

We are lucky to have a health food store with spices sold in bulk, which is
much cheaper than the grocery store.  Making this with pre-packed spices
could be expensive.  Good luck!  Sorry this won't come in time for the
holidays... but may be fun next year!
