This has been a family Thanksgiving tradition of mine for a long time. These turkey cookies are really fun to make and the little ones love to help! They only take a few minutes to make, but have a BIG wow factor! Let’s get going with the Thanksgiving Turkey Cookie Tutorial!
Ingredients needed for Turkey Cookies:
Ginger snaps
Chocolate Frosting
Candy Corns (get them soon, they are hard to find closer to Thanksgiving!)
Hershey Kisses (I used the almond ones just because I like them better)
Chocolate Chips
Red Hots
Ginger snaps
Chocolate Frosting
Candy Corns (get them soon, they are hard to find closer to Thanksgiving!)
Hershey Kisses (I used the almond ones just because I like them better)
Chocolate Chips
Red Hots
Tools:
Cutting board
Knives (one to trim cookies, one to spread frosting)
I like to put all the ingredients in bowls for easy access.
1. First, trim a ginger snap with a knife to make the tail. Make sure the cut is not angled or your tail will fall over.
2. Spread frosting on cookie piece and add five candy corns for feathers.
3. Add some frosting to the flat edge of the cookie and stand it up on the edge of another ginger snap. (Tail)
4. Frost the bottom of a kiss and put it on the cookie in front of the tail. (Body) This will help hold up the tail while the frosting sets.
5. Dip the edge of a chocolate chip in frosting and place it near the top of the Hershey’s Kiss. (Head) Then, dip a red hot in frosting and place it below the chocolate chip on the kiss. (Gobble)
There you have it! One fantastic little turkey cookie!
Now, gobble til you wobble!
We love to use these as a Thanksgiving activity for the kids
while all the food is cooking.
Turkey cookies are a fun little treat for neighbors or would be really cute set at
each place on the Thanksgiving table!

What an adorable and easy idea! I’m going to do this today. The kids are home from school.
That is so cute. I think we should do this next week. Hopefully the kids don’t eat all the candy corns by then.
