These are fun to make and smell soooo good! I have made them lots of times and really enjoyed them. -
I had a hard time with these. The "dough" was very crumbly and the dried ornaments stuck to the cookie sheets like cement. The non-stick sheet worked okay so we got a few very thin and fragile ones. I painted them with a thin layer of glue to strengthen them a bit and then decorated them with glitter glue. -
These smelled so good. The only thing was I had to add about 1/4 cup more of cinnamon-but they turned out fine.

Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
