Turkey Cookies for Thanksgiving
Thanks, Janelle, for this adorable recipe. What a fun way to encourage a family who may be facing a difficult time this holiday season!

Aren't these little turkeys cute? The best part... they're super easy and quick to make. Simply use pre-made sugar cookie dough and add a little flare. The children in your life will be sure to gobble them up this Thanksgiving!

If you or your children know a child who is having a difficult time right now, I'm sure these little guys will put a smile on his/her face... just box them up with a bow and card and let them know you're thinking of them!

Roll out sugar cookie dough onto a floured surface. Use a cookie cutter (I used a tart cutter) to make circles.

Bake according to package directions. Place cookies on a cooling rack. When completely cool, put pre-made frosting in a ziploc bag and cut a small hole in the corner ( this will give you a pretty little design on your cookie).

Place 4-5 candy corn on the top for feathers.

Use white frosting for eyes and orange for the nose. I put edible pearls that I had on hand in the white frosting - but edible eyes would be adorable! You can get them at Jo-ann's or Michaels. Super cute!
