For next year....

Nope, We don't eat the eat the cookie cutters Asher...I know they are called"cookie" cutters, but still.... :)
In case you are looking for a fun craft or possible homemade gift for your kids to give away, try making cinnamon ornaments! They smell wonderful and just need 2 ingredients, 1 normal sized bottle of cinnamon and 3/4 cup of applesauce. Mix together, roll out between wax paper and then press cookie cutters into the dough. (Remember to put a hole in the top to thread ribbon through to hang them on the tree.) You just bake them at 200 for a couple hours or leave them out for several days to dry out. The "dough" is pretty wet and a little difficult to handle, but it is a relatively easy and little mess project.
Although the mini cookie cutters are easier for little hands, they don't make the best ornaments. I recommend using full-size cookie cutters for best results.
