These cookies were so easy to make. Both kids had a blast creating their own special cookies. While my toddler wanted to eat the icing, she did enjoy placing all the candy corn. These turkey cookies were just the right amount of sweet! Let’s see how long they last but I’m guessing they will be gone well before Turkey day arrives.
