How to make mini cinnamon, applesauce, ginger boy cutouts
My friend asked me a while back why I don't make those good smelling little ginger boy cutouts anymore. My reply was you know I don't know. I have not made them in years. Not sure why cause they smell sooooooooo good, and they are really cute. So, I decided to dig out my recipe and get some made. They look good in a bowl filled with potpourri. Cute and festive.
Here's what you will need:
A small ginger boy cutout
Measuring cup and measuring spoons
A bowl to mix it in
Spoon to mix it up
3/4 cup of applesauce
1 cup of cinnamon-2/$1.00 at dollar store-oh ya! You will need some extra to sprinkle on your rolling surface
2 tablespoons of white glue-any white glue will work
Ground cloves-a few sprinkles to your liking
Ground nutmeg-a few sprinkles to your liking.
Rolling pin
Wax paper
Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix until a dough forms. If your dough seems a bit dry just add a little more applesauce. Lay out your wax paper and use it for a rolling surface. Sprinkle the wax paper with a little of all three spices. Roll and cut. Allow to dry for several days. I flip them every day until they are completely dry. They will get fairly hard when completely dry. Lay them out to dry onto a piece of wax paper, and whatever you do....don't leave your cookie cutter in the garbage disposal. This is what happens when you do. I think I have had this cutter for 20 years. Dang! now I have to go find a new one.
Enjoy!
