Thanksgiving Oreo Turkey Cookies are a fun treat for kids and adults alike.  These cute Thanksgiving cookies are so easy to make. 

If you are looking for a way for your child to be involved, these cookies would be an easy dessert for them to help make. They are also a great way to use up leftover candy corn from Halloween.

No bake desserts are a lifesaver in the kitchen during Thanksgiving, as there is never enough room in the oven.

These will be a hit at any family function, especially Thanksgiving dinner. Adults and kids alike will enjoy taking apart and eating this simple dessert. If you are more of a traditionalist, find something from this list of 20 Delightfully Delicious Cranberry Desserts for Thanksgiving.

Turkey Cookie Ingredients

To make this fun Thanksgiving dessert recipe, you will need the following ingredients (go to the recipe below for exact quantities and instructions):

• Double Stuf OREO cookies
• candy corn
• googly eyes
• pumpkin spice morsels: If you can’t find pumpkin spice morsels, Reese’s peanut butter chips work also.
• black cake/cookie icing: If you can’t find black, I have also used yellow gel icing.

How to Make Thanksgiving Turkey Cookies

1. Take 4-5 pieces of candy corn and carefully push into the icing in between the cookie parts. Don’t push too far or the cookie will separate. Use the thinnest candy corns you can find in the bag.
2. Using the black cake or cookie icing as “glue,” squeeze a tiny amount where you want to place the eyes and beak. Apply the googly eyes to the icing.
3. Apply the pumpkin spice morsel under the eyes as the beak.
4. Let the cookies set for a few minutes until the icing hardens a bit.

Tips for Oreo Turkey Cookies

I highly recommend using Double Stuf Oreos. They are easier to get the candy corn in without separating the cookie.
