In reply to Ellen.

Hi Ellen, Thanks so much for stopping by my site! Your visit is much appreciated, as is your question. I baked mine at 200’ for approximately 2 and ½ hours, but then I turned the oven off and let them sit in there for another hour or so. I really wanted them to be hard since they would be handled a bit more than if they were hanging on a tree. Mine were approximately ¼” thick.

But, having said all that…I did make some earlier that were a little thicker and ended up putting them back in the oven at 200’ for probably another hour because they seemed a little soft in the middle. I don’t think you can really ‘overbake’ them at that temp and you definitely don’t want any soft spots.

And I am beyond thrilled that you were able to put together 7 boxes for Operation Christmas Child! I dropped mine off yesterday and it was such a good felling, wasn’t it?

You are clearly getting into the Thanksgiving and Christmas state of mind. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday. And I know you’ll have a ball baking those ornaments for your grandchildren.

Hugs, Lynn

In reply to Ariel. How long do you need to cook the ornaments, made these years ago with my daughter....now will make some & give to my 3 grandchildren, thanks for sharing. Also a small FYI on one of your other posting found the site for donating to the Samaritan House for children Christmas boxes, We were able to do 7 boxes,

Growing up my grandmother always had a gingerbread ornament tree. This wreath brings back some pleasant childhood memories…. and it smells nice too. Bonus!
