For those of you who have Thanksgiving Parties at school...these might be something fun to try! I got the idea from Puppy Cove...they are so easy! They would be fun for the kids on Thanksgiving Day...at least my kids were really excited about them! Whats nice is you can make them as easy or as difficult as you want.
You can:
make your own sugar cookie....................or get the refrigerated sugar cookie dough
make your own frosting (chocolate and vanilla).........or get the canned kind
use a pastry bag to pipe everything....................or use a ziplock baggie (I would use the pastry bag)
So, I was really excited to make these little guys for Noah's Preschool class (they were having a Thanksgiving Feast)...I made them on Wednesday so they would be ready today. Too bad that all Wednesday night he woke up every 30 minutes throwing up...everywhere!! I have had to do so much laundry today and disinfecting its not even funny. I wish 3 year olds could grasp the "if you have to throw up, throw up in the bowl next to you...not all over yourself, or all over my carpet, or all over your bed/blankets"...it would have saved alot of clean-up. I'm just grateful my sweet husband did the clean up while I dealt with the sick boy. It always makes me sad to see my kids sick. With all that being said...he did not get to go to his Thanksgiving Feast today. I took the cookies in anyway, I just wish he could have been there for it. It sounded like it was so cute!
Now that you have lost your appetite...here is the recipe:)
1 (8 oz) bag candy corn
1 (8 oz) bag miniature M&M chocolate candies
2 oz decorating gel (I used chocolate icing and made the eyes dots with toothpicks)
1 (6.5 oz) can decorating icing (chocolate and vanilla)
Cut and bake the sugar cookies as directed on the package. Cool. With the can of frosting, put some in pastry bag and pipe a line on the top of the cookie that covers about 1/4 of the cookie arc. Place 5-6 candy corn along the frosting row to make the turkey feathers. Next, put icing on the back of the M&M's and put into place. Then using a toothpick (or decorating gel), dab some frosting in the middle of the M&M's. With the vanilla frosting, (tinted orange) make a "V" for the beak - and then an upside-down "Y" for the feet.
P.S...Due to lack of time, I cheated and used the refrigerated cookie dough and the canned frosting. I am so ashamed:( It is against everything I believe in...PHEW, I feel better getting that off my chest.

Sorry about Noah. That stinks.
Those are so cute! And I have to tell you that I made your spice bread for bookclub the other day- I licked off all the extra batter, the topping is so good and it was delicious. Jonny was upset when I put the extra loaf in the freezer because that's the only way I could keep us from going way over board. Needless to say, it didn't stay in the freezer long. Thanks for posting all these great recipes!
Great minds think alike. :) Aren't these cookies just the cutest?! And so easy to make... that's my favorite part. :) So sorry about Noah! Yuck! There is nothing worse! Hope the rest of you don't get it. It's going around that's for sure, I am hoping we can dodge it at least until after Thanksgiving.
I am so sorry that your little guy is sick. It sure is going around...
I was going to make those cookies for Lilly's feast at school today-- but forgot to get the candy corn! grrr-- Am making pumpkins instead...
That is so not fun to have sick kids, life is a trial enough when they are well:) Cute cookies!
So cute! If only I'd found your idea before Thanksgiving... I've got to remember these for next year!
Cute cookies! DO you have any good Christmas cookies, I have 3 cookie exchanges and keep waiting for your awesome recipes!
