Gingerbread Play Dough Recipe

This playdough smells absolutely amazing!

1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 cup water
1 tsp vegetable oil

Spices

allspice
cinnamon
ginger
nutmeg

Mix all dry ingredients, add spices until you have reached your desired scent and color. Mix oil and water together and then add to dry ingredients and stir. Cook the mixture for three to five minutes on low to medium heat, stirring constantly. You will know it is finished when the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the pan and forms a large ball. Take the dough out of pan and knead until it is smooth and soft. When cool, store in an airtight container.

You can roll out the dough and use cutters. Can you make your own Gingerbread Man?

As always, just have fun and stay safe
