Ingredients:
For the cookies:
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the decorations:
1 package of candy corn
1 bag of chocolate chips
1 tube of orange icing
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the dough
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until smooth. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Step 2: Mix in the dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Step 3: Roll out the dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out circles for the turkey bodies. Place them on the lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.
Step 4: Decorate the cookies
Once the cookies are cooled, it's time to decorate! Use the chocolate chips as the turkey's eyes and place them towards the top of the cookie. Next, use the orange icing to create a small beak just below the eyes. Then, add a row of candy corn feathers at the top of the cookie, pressing them into the icing.
Step 5: Final touches
To complete the look, use the chocolate chips to create small feet at the bottom of the cookie. You can also add a small red icing dot for the turkey's wattle. Let the icing set for about 10 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
These Thanksgiving turkey cookies are not only simple to make, but they also add a touch of whimsy to your holiday dessert table. Get creative with the decorations, adding different colors and designs to make each turkey unique. These cookies are sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike.
