How to Make Turkey Oreo Cookies

1. Tint half of the frosting

Divide the vanilla frosting evenly.

Add half of the vanilla frosting to one bowl. Then add a generous amount of red gel food coloring to the bowl and stir until well combined and the color is even.

2. Prep the piping bags

Spoon the plain vanilla frosting into one piping bag, and the red frosting into another.

Then snip the tip off each bag to allow for easy piping.

3. Make the tail feathers

Gently wedge 5 pieces of candy corn into the top edge of each Oreo Cookie to form the turkey feathers.

4. Attach the face

Pipe three small dots of plain frosting on each cookie, two for the eyes and one for the beak.

Then press candy eyes onto the top two dots and a butterscotch chip onto the bottom dot. Finally use the red frosting to pipe a small squiggle next to the beak to represent the turkey’s wattle.

Storage Tips: Place finished Thanksgiving Turkey Cookies in a single layer in an airtight container. Keep at room temperature for up to 2 to 3 days. However, they are best served within a day. Avoid stacking the cookies to protect the decorations.

• Make it a group activity: Set up a DIY Turkey Cookie station at your Thanksgiving party or classroom event so everyone can decorate their own.

• Use different frosting flavors: Swap plain vanilla frosting for maple, cream cheese, or chocolate for a flavor twist that still holds decorations in place.
