If you haven’t seen a Christmas tree decorated with good old fashioned cookie ornaments you’ve missed out on something special. You can make the ornaments with regular cookies but salt dough ornaments are more durable and will last longer.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 cup water
Directions:
1. Mix salt and flour.
2. Add in half the water, then gradually add the remaining water.
3. Knead until the dough is smooth, this can take up to 10 minutes.
4. Roll out the dough on baking paper and cut out desired shapes with cookie cutters.
5. Use a straw to make a hole so you can hang the ornament.
Baking:
Temperature: 325 degrees
Time: 1 1/2 hours – or until dry
