We made gingerbread ornaments.

This is what they look like unbaked.
All you need is
2 cups flower 1 cup salt 1 cup coffee for brown color bake 1 hr at 300
You can add cinnamon or ginger for aroma.
These are not edible.

I was asked several times if they could eat them. I started out telling them this was like play dough.
Or clay. Plus it helped to have a cake already made or do this on a full belly. LOL
I am so thankful for this visit. And look forward to next Saturday. They will all be here again for a thanksgiving dinner.

Looks like good times!! I see the one boy has red eyes the entire time...I can relate!! :) How on earth did you get away with making inedible cookies?!? You're one sneaky grandma!! :)

What darling monkeys you have! I've made these with cinnamon for the brown, (just cinnamon and applesauce), I bet the coffee makes it smell like coffee, can you use old coffee grounds? That would be really cheap. (mine would have HAD to taste test! :)

What fun...we do cinnamom applesauce ornaments every year. I've always wanted to do gingerbread boys, but never could find a good recipe...until now!

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you'll be back.

Looks like they had a blast with that! It's always hard convincing kids that even though it smells good, it isn't edible. I'm always amazed what my 2 year old will pick up and start eating... ICK
