Description
These adorable Nutter Butter Turkey Cookies are the perfect Thanksgiving treat fun to make, festive to display, and loved by both kids and adults. They’re no-bake, easy to assemble, and bring a joyful touch to your holiday dessert table.
Ingredients
- Nutter Butter cookies (peanut-shaped sandwich cookies)
- Round sandwich cookies (optional, for variety)
- White candy melts (for glueing decorations)
- Candy corn (for feathers)
- Candy eyeballs
- Orange Reese’s Pieces (for the beak)
- Red cookie icing (for the wattle)
- Optional: Mini chocolate chips, colored sprinkles, or edible glitter
Instructions
- Melt white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth. This will act as your edible glue.
- Lay out Nutter Butter cookies on parchment paper. You can also use round sandwich cookies for a different look.
- Dip the tip of each candy corn into melted candy and attach to the top back of each cookie to create feathers. Let set for a few minutes.
- Use small dots of melted candy to attach two candy eyeballs and one orange Reese’s Piece as the beak below them.
- Pipe a small red squiggle using cookie icing next to the beak to form the wattle.
- Allow cookies to set at room temperature for 10–15 minutes or refrigerate briefly to harden.
- Serve on a platter or wrap individually for parties or gifts.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To make ahead, prepare decorations separately and assemble before serving. Use gluten-free sandwich cookies for a gluten-free version. Perfect no-bake dessert when your oven is busy with Thanksgiving dishes!
