Easy Thanksgiving Turkey Cookies

Submitted by Jennibear

"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!"

I elected to bake homemade sugar cookies and buttercream icing & then decorated these adorable cookies with my grandson. He is 4 yrs old & was so proud of his cookies! Thank you for sharing a cute idea. We had lots of fun & made memories! :-)

My DS and his friend wanted to make some cookies, so I had him make these for Thanksgiving. All the kids really loved them, and the adults thought they were such a cute idea. Great tasting cookies too! Tony
