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.
