I saw these applesauce and cinnamon ornaments everywhere at Christmas and thought they would be fun to make at Valentine's as hearts. These are really easy to make and they smell terrific. I have one hanging from my kitchen cabinet and it makes my whole kitchen smell lovely. Here's how you make them:
What you need:
1 cup applesauce
1 cup cinnamon
bowl
rolling pin
heart cookie cutter
straw
ribbon

Directions:
1. put 1 cup of applesauce and 1 cup of cinnamon in a mixing bowl and mix well. Roll this mixture into a ball
2. using a rolling pin, roll it out until about 1/4 inch thick

3. take your heart-shaped cookie cutter and make hearts
4. take a straw and make a hole at the top so you can thread a ribbon later when they're dry

Uh oh, someone lost interest!

5. place somewhere to dry - I used a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Mine took about 3 days to fully dry - make sure you turn them over half way through the drying process so both sides dry

6. when dry, thread a ribbon through the top and tie in a bow

so sweet jill!
ReplyDeletelove it Jill! I will be trying this for sure. So cute how your daughter has tongue poking out while rolling. My daughter does the same thing when she's concentrating.
ReplyDeleteI saw them too and meant to incorporate them at Christmas, but time just got away from me ... love the "losing interest" picture - happens here too! :o)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to make these at Christmas too- but I guess that I got a little distracted! It's a great Valentine's Day idea.
ReplyDeletevery clever!
ReplyDeleteso cute! my girls would love this. i'll have to try it.
ReplyDeleteHi! I am new to your blog and I love it! So many great ideas. I could not find a post about the camera you use. One of the many great things about your blog is your photos! Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas!

p.s. you better believe I am making those cookie dough truffles! Dangerous! :)
That's pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh we've made these before and I just love how they smell! Great idea for Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteThank-you ladies!
ReplyDeleteErin - I shoot with a Nikon D90. Love it!
Jill- I just knew you were going to say that! Still kicking myself for buying the Canon Powershot G12. Of course maybe it would help if I understood all the fancy settings a little better! ;) Thanks for stopping by my blog. You have definitely inspired me to get moving on an updated blog look. I have put it off because of tech issues, but your links in the other post spelled out some of those, so thanks! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteErin
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love how Kirsten sticks out her tongue when she concentrates
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies!
ReplyDeleteErin - the Canon G12 is still a really great camera! It still has all the manual and semi-manual camera settings and when/if you learn to use them, you'll never go back. I've learned so much this year about photography, but still have SOOOO much to learn. It's fun though. About the updated blog - if I can do it, anyone can. I don't know anything about html code and I found the tutorials easy to follow. I'm so glad I did it!
Oh my - how cute is your daughter when she sticks her tongue out? Lovely ornaments... I bet the smell heavenly!

hi jill,
ReplyDeletei was wondering if you knew about how many hearts one recipe makes. i want to make these with a group of kids and i'm trying to figure out if i need more than 1 batch of dough.
thanks!

Hi Abby!
ReplyDeleteI don't really know. We only made 6, but we had a lot of leftover dough. We easily could have made more. Sorry I can't be more help!
no worries! that's very helpful! and we LOVE your blog! thanks for all of your great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI want to do these with my daughter but she is only 8mns. I'm worried the cinnamon would be too much to be ok if she put it in her mouth. Do you think there's anything that could replace the cinnamon to make it ok for her to play with some of the dough too?
ReplyDeleteHi Megan! I guess you could use flour, but they won't smell pretty. I agree, the cinnamon would definitely be too much if she tasted it.
ReplyDeleteI love it....Can't wait to do this with my grandbaby:-)
