THANKSGIVING TURKEYS (COOKIES)
These are not made with real turkey, LOL! My mom made these for me when I was a kid and now I am able to make these with my daughter. Gotta love those family recipes! This is a fun recipe too to have your kids help you with! If you don't want to use peanut butter cups, my mom used to use the Brach's chocolate covered mints (not flat ones) but the ones that were shaped like pb cups.

EASY THANKSGIVING TURKEY COOKIES
These cookies are cute and easy! Kids love them! Fun to make! I used the refrigerated cookie dough - but you could even buy pre-made sugar cookies and decorate them... We took these to my kids classes for their pre-Thanksgiving party and they were a huge hit! It's probably easiest to just look at the picture to make these rather than follow my directions - but good luck! Enjoy!

- Next squirt two dots in the middle for the eyes. Top with 2 mini M&Ms of the same color.
- With the gel frosting, make a "V" for the beak - and then an upside-down "Y" for the feet.

Tips:
- Use high-quality butter for the best flavor and texture.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy; this will help the cookies spread less in the oven.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking; this will also help the cookies spread less and will make them easier to handle.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure that all of the cookies are the same size; this will help them bake evenly.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown; overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before decorating.
Conclusion:
Thanksgiving turkey cookies are a fun and festive way to celebrate the holiday. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. With a little creativity, you can create turkey cookies that are sure to impress your family and friends.
