Gobble-Gobble Cookies

Tonight, I am responsible for bringing dessert for my medical wives Bible study's craft night! What better time than the week before Thanksgiving to make gobble-gobble cookies!?

These are also great to do with little ones who like to help Mommy in the kitchen!

You will need:

• Ingredients to make sugar cookies (any sugar cookie recipe will work)
• Decorative gel in traditional colors
• M&Ms
• Chocolate icing
• Candy corn

1. Roll up your sleeves, and whip up that cookie dough!

2. Stick your cookies in the oven!

3. After removing the cookies from the oven, place to cool on a cookie sheet. (Go ahead and make a few enormous cookies for your adoring husband.)

See the enormous cookies?

4. After the cookies have cooled completely, it's time to break out the chocolate icing!

And get to icing!

5. Next, you're going to arrange the candy corn on the icing, pointing in toward the center of the cookie.

6. Go grab your bag of M&Ms! Choose two of the same color--yellow, orange, and green work the best for the eyes. Put some chocolate icing on the M&M (don't put the icing on the blank side of the candy...that is the side for the eyeball), and place on the cookie where you want the eyes to be.

7. After you put the eyes on your cookie, take out the blue gel and dot the M&Ms. Now your turkey has pupils! He can see! :)

8. To make the beak, use the red gel and make a "V" under the eyes.

9. To finish him (or her) off, you will need to add those turkey feet!

And ta-da! You're finished! How easy was that!? Make these with your kiddos in the kitchen, or bring them to Thanksgiving dinner. Either way--you're sure to get compliments on how cute they are!
