What you need:
Dough:
- 1 part salt
- 1 part water
- 2 parts flour
For example I usually use: 1c salt, 1c water and 2c flour
Other:
- Rolling Pin
- Cookie Cutters
- Cookie Sheet or Dehydrator
What to do:
I get the best dough results by using a kitchen mixer with a dough hook or mixing the dough in my breadmaker on the Dough Cycle for about 1-15 minutes.
Alternative Drying Methods:
Dehydrator or Air-Drying
Decoration Option:
Before Baking lightly stamp the ornaments

- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Mix together, salt, flour, and water until dough is formed.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until the mixture is elastic and smooth. If dough is too sticky, sprinkle with flour, continue to do so until stickiness is gone. Do not add too much flour, this will dry out the dough and will cause it to crack before you get a chance to bake it.
- Roll out the dough to about ¼” thick with a rolling pin that has been dusted with flour.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out your shapes
- Use a toothpick to make a hole toward the top of the shape.
- Place all shapes onto an ungreased cookie sheet and place into the preheated oven.
- Bake for 2 hours.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
