Cute Turkey Cookies for Thanksgiving

This week klumpp wrote in asking about ideas for kid-friendly Thanksgiving treats. I found this cute recipe for Turkey Cookie Treats on the Betty Crocker site. Won't these look tur-rific on the kid's table? You can "wing it" using ready bake cookie dough, chocolate frosting, and candy corn. Or, keep reading for the recipe.

Turkey Cookie Treats from Betty Crocker

1 pouch Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

1 egg

1 container chocolate frosting

candy corn

yellow decorating icing

black decorating icing

sprinkles for decorating

Stir mix, butter, and egg until soft dough forms. On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart. Bake 11 to 14 minutes at 375 or until edges are light golden brown. Cool completely. Let the kids help frost and decorate.

About the author Kim Conte

has shoes that make people stop her on the street and ask "Where did you get those?" but it doesn't work for taxi cabs as she was hit by one ... and lived to tell the tale. She has more freckles than Lohan but way less attitude. And she's a fierce cook with tons of recipes to share -- and wishes she could share some with Bourdain.
