Bake a Batch of Cookie Dough Ornaments

Kids love playing with soft dough — mix up a batch then shape it into sweet tree ornaments. For the dough, you need: 4 cups of flour, 1-1/2 cups of water and 1 cup salt. First, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Combine ingredients, then knead the mixture into dough and roll out flat. Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into seasonal shapes and embellish however you'd like, then place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. While cookies are still soft, use a knife to make a hole in each for hanging. Once they've cooled, spray them with a clear protective food coating, thread ribbon through and hang on the Christmas tree.

To attach the ribbon for hanging, Tobi cut 2 shallow slits around the orange's navel then slid through a loop of leopard-print ribbon.
