So did anyone else get the Chick-fil-a kids meals that were being offered last month?? When I first saw that they were offering mini baking utensils I thought it was the cutest thing ever! My kids thought it was pretty cute too and we may have even been back a few times! Their favorite by far was when they were offering a cookie cutter and a recipe for Cinnamon Salt Dough Ornaments. With Christmas just around the corner we didn’t waste any time cutting out our little stars so they could have some fun homemade ornaments to hang on the trees in their rooms.
Just in case you did not get the recipe and cookie cutter from Chick-fil-a I will share it with you so you can still have the fun of making these at home. And of course any cookie cutter will work just fine!
So here is what you need to start!
In a mixing bowl add 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup salt, and 1/2 cup cinnamon.
Mix it all together.
Gradually add in 3/4 cup lukewarm water and combine it all together with your hands and form it into a ball of dough. Then on a lightly floured surface roll out your dough until it is about a 1/4 inch thick.
Then let the kids have at it to make their stars!
Use a straw to poke a hole in the top of each star.
Transfer the starts to wax paper and let air dry for approximately 3-4 days. Flip daily!
We re-rolled the dough twice and that gave us about 15 stars. We still had some dough left over and the kids have been enjoying using it as play-doh. I put it in a plastic bag zip lock bag between uses and it has still stayed fresh. It makes a nice safe non toxic play-doh and it smells really good too!
When the ornaments were all dry I added some of my favorite red gingham ribbon in the 1/4 inch size to half of them, and the other half I used some of my red bakers twine.
Here is a few on the little tree in my bedroom!
