Do a turkey dance...
Happy Thanksgiving!!! I had to share these darling cookies with everyone. My kids saw something similar to these, and I was forced to make them. Actually, I couldn't wait to make them, they are so cute and make Thanksgiving a little extra special for my farmhands. What is better than eating your very own sugar cookie turkey???
These are super simple, and really fun. I love their legs! And piping the frosting on instead of spreading it made life really stress free!!! Simply use a good sugar cookie recipe and cut out rounds with a large biscuit cutter. They can be whatever diameter you choose really. Whip up a little cream cheese icing (recipe follows) and you are almost done. I used candy corns for the feathers. The white icing is piped on with a #11 round piping tip. In two small bowls, tint a small amount (1/4 cup) of icing black and another orange. Pipe the legs and beaks orange with a #3 round tip and pipe black eyes with the same tip. You can gobble, gobble these up at the end of your Thanksgiving feast.
