Cute Thanksgiving Turkey Cookies image

I'm always on the look-out for cute things to add pizazz to holiday dessert trays, placesetting favors and bake sales/fundraisers. And these cute little guys caught my eyes several years ago! The recipe calls for using store-bought cookie dough, but I always make the cookies homemade. Either way, they turn out adorable! Happy Thanksgiving! (photo from bing images)

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 - (16.5 oz.) pkg. refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough roll, or homemade
3/4-1 cup - chocolate frosting
1/3 cup - sliced almonds, can sub candy corns if desired
48 - white chocolate chips
48 - mini chocolate chips, *can sub chocolate frosting
24 - candy corns
48 - pretzel twist pieces, for feet

Steps:

  • Prepare cookies according to package direstions. (*I make homemade, though.) Cool completely. With a pastry bag (or ziplock baggie snipping corner off), add a small mound of frosting to center of cookie not all the way to the edge. Add almond slices or candy corns (point end-down), into half of outer edge of each cookie for feathers. Place 2 white chocolate chips on each for eyes. With frosting, adhere tiny chocolate chip morsels to white ones for pupils. (*I just changed tips and made them with frosting.) Place on candy corn noses, and pretzel pieces feet. And there you have it! Cute lil' buggers!! :D *You can also make a dab of simple frosting, tint it red and make the wattles. Just pipe across top of candy corn and down one side.
