1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
 2 cups cinnamon
 1 teaspoon each (optional):
 allspice
 cloves
 ginger
 Mix together in an electric mixer for about 5 minutes until
 the dough looks like clay. It will be smooth and not very
 sticky. Dust hands with cinnamon to be able to handle the
 dough.
 Dust a rolling pin and board with cinnamon and roll out to
 about 1/4 an inch thick or more.
 (thinner dough than this tends to curl during baking)
 Cut out with holiday cookie cutters.
 Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 150 degrees for one
 hour. Remove from the cookie sheets and bake on the oven
 racks for another hour and a half.
 Decorate with fabric paints, candy-shaped
 beads, silk holly, or whatever you want.
 Hot glue a ribbon or a small magnet to the back, or hot glue
 several to a ribbon wrapped grapevine wreath.
