To make the dough for the ornaments, mix the flour, salt, water, and vegetable oil in a large bowl until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little bit more water. Separate the dough into smaller portions and add a few drops of food coloring to each portion, kneading until the color is evenly distributed.
Roll out each colored dough portion on a floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters in various festive shapes to cut out your ornaments. Use a straw to make a small hole at the top of each ornament for hanging.
Place the ornaments on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for about 2 hours, or until they are completely dry and hard. Let them cool completely before decorating.
To make the icing, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Separate the icing into smaller portions and add a few drops of food coloring to each portion, mixing until the desired color is achieved.
Use a small piping bag or a plastic bag with a small corner cut off to decorate the ornaments with the colored icing. Let the icing dry completely before threading a string or ribbon through the hole and hanging them on your tree or around your home.
These edible Christmas ornaments not only add a delicious and unique touch to your holiday decor, but they also make great gifts for friends and family. Get creative with different shapes, colors, and designs, and enjoy the festive spirit while indulging in these tasty treats. Happy Holidays!
