I’ve always loved looking at Christmas trees that have gourmet additions like strands of popcorn & cranberries. We’ve never done that sort of thing, but this year I opted to try a cookie ornament for our tree: Cinnamon- Sugar Stars.
This cinnamon-tainted dough is rolled out and stamped with stars. Use a straw to poke holes in the top of the stars for easy ribbon stringing.
A light coat of egg white is brushed onto each cut-out cookie. It acts as the ‘glue’ that will hold on the cinnamon-sugar sprinkle.
The stars are baked ’till a golden brown.
Festive ribbon is strung through each cookie to create ornaments.
If you don’t wish to put them on your big tree, consider putting together a miniature tree with cookie ornaments to keep in your kitchen. Be careful if you have dogs or other creatures that might find these delicious!

how lovely! i’ll be honest–it’d be very difficult for me to handle these and hang them onto a tree without taking a bite out of each one… 🙂
So pretty! I love the idea of edibles on the tree.
what a deliciously pretty idea! i luv that – thanks for sharing this; will most likely attempt this with the kiddos 😉
I made some of these last year but my dog ate them! haha
That’s a great idea and the starts look beautiful. How long will my tree stay decorated if I put those up though..?
Ah, yea, Wilson would find those very much to his liking. Very cute however. For those without pets, a darling idea!
