Ingredients:
- 2 cups plain flour
- 1 cup of salt
- 1 cup of water
- 5 drops Clove Bud essential oil
- 5 drops Orange essential oil
- 5 drops Ginger essential oil
- 5 drops Cinnamon essential oil
- Christmas theme Cookie Cutters
- Twine or Ribbon
Let’s Begin:
Method:
- Combine the flour, salt and essential oils in a large mixing bowl.
- Slowly begin adding the water until you have a workable piece of dough, you don’t want the dough to become sticky.
- Roll out the dough to be around 2cm thick and cut out your shapes with your cookie cutters. Use a skewer or straw to create a small hole at the top for your twine.
- Get creative! You may like to press foliage into your dough for a delicate design, or etch out patterns, we even pressed in some cloves.
- Place the ornaments on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 120 °C for about 3 hours or until dry.
- Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely before attaching the twine or ribbon!
