Cinnamon Ornaments

1 C. school lunch style applesauce
1 1/2 C. cinnamon
1/2 C. white school glue

I've seen recipes without the glue, but I imagine the glue makes it more elastic and hold together better after it dries.  Mix ingredients together until it forms a brown smooth dough. Roll out to 1/4" thickness. Use cookie cutters to make designs.  Dry ornaments on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, flipping every few hours so the edges don't curl up too bad.  Use a straw or pencil to punch holes in tops of ornaments so you can hang them.  The dough will shrink as it dries.  The holes will get smaller.   Paint ornaments only after they are fully dried.
