For a richer color and deeper scent, consider using a high-quality Ceylon cinnamon. When air drying, placing the ornaments on a wire rack can improve air circulation and speed up the drying process. Experiment with different cookie cutter shapes and sizes to create a variety of ornaments. Adding a few drops of essential oils like orange or pine can enhance the festive aroma.
