A richly scented ornamental cookie. These would be fabulous decorating a christmas tree, but don't try to eat them!
1 cup ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons white glue
3/4 to 1 cup water
Mix cinnamon and glue. Gradually add the water. Stir until a ball of dough forms. Roll out with rolling pin 1/4 inch thick and cut with cookie cutters. Poke a hole and let dry at room temperature for 1 to 2 days, turning over every 6-8 hours. If desired, decorate with white Royal Icing. Hang with ribbon and enjoy the fragrance!
Note: Yield depends on how big your cookie cutters are.

AWESOME craft!!! My children (ages 2 & 5)absolutely loved doing this project. It's a great way to use up old spices. I would suggest using mostly glue and only moisten using a teaspoon of water at a time. Knead dough in between.

I had a heck of a time with this recipe. Yes, they smell good, but you're working with glue. My advice is to add the water slowly (even if it's dry, just wait and continue mixing) and let the dough sit awhile before adding more water or trying to roll out. After an hour and a half of trying to roll it out and make cut outs my dough was finally manageable. Good luck, they are a suptuous idea for the tree or for name tags!
