Cinnamon Clove Nutmeg Salt Dough Ornaments are a tradition in our house that we look forward to all year long! This is a smaller batch, but it’s very easily doubled! If you’d rather not bake these they can set overnight to dry! Also, feel free to have your kids decorate them!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup salt
- 4 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup warm water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium sized bowl, stir together your flour, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
- Add your warm water to your flour mixture. Stir well. It will come together. If you feel like you absolutely need more moisture, add no more than 2 teaspoons. Just trust me here.
- Roll the dough out between two pieces of parchment paper. I aim for a bit more than 1/4 of an inch thickness.
- Using your cookie cutter of choice, cut out your shapes and place them on your cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Use a straw to cut the hole that will be used to hang your ornaments. Don't forget this step! Once these are dry it will be impossible to punch a hole in them.
- Place your ornaments into the oven for 10 minutes. If you'd rather not bake them, they can set out overnight to dry!
- Remove your ornaments from the oven. Let them set for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, and then flip them all over. Let them continue to set on the cookie sheet until they're completely cooled.
- Thread a string or ribbon through the hole and enjoy the seasonal smell!
