If you’re looking for cute Thanksgiving desserts for kids of all ages, check out these easy Oreo turkey cookies. This fun treat is super easy, and you can put the kids to work — kind of like a Thanksgiving craft you can eat!

When it comes to Thanksgiving, the more desserts to choose from, the merrier! You have your traditional Thanksgiving desserts like pumpkin dump cake, pumpkin pie or pumpkin cheesecake, but it’s always nice to have something fun, as well!

We used the chocolate creme Oreos because we are all serious chocolate lovers, but you can use any flavor. Just don’t use the super thin ones, because the candy corn won’t fit.

Ingredients

You only need a few simple ingredients for these cute Oreo turkey cookies. You can find these ingredients online or at the grocery store.

• Oreo sandwich cookies, or any brand of sandwich cookie — double-stuffed Oreos (double stuf Oreos) work best
• Chocolate chips — to hold the eyes and beak in place
• Candy corn — for the turkey tail
• Candy eyeballs

How to Make Turkey Cookies with Oreos

These cute turkeys come together in just a few quick steps.

First, press the pointed side of the candy corn into the cream filling. The candy corn pieces will be the turkey feathers.

You don’t need to take the cookie apart — just gently press the pieces of candy corn into the middle.

Then, using a toothpick, add three little dots of melted chocolate — one for the beak and two for the eyes — onto the center of the cookie.

Next, stick the candy eye balls and candy corn, make sure the white tip is facing down, onto the chocolate.

You can also place a small amount of melted chocolate onto the back of the candy eyes and candy corn. I just found it was easier put the chocolate directly onto the cookie instead.

My kids got way more chocolate on their hands the other way, but you can do what works for you!

After you press the eyes and beak onto the Oreo cookie turkeys, you’re done! Now, just repeat the process until you have as many turkey cookies as you need!

Aren’t these little turkeys cute?! We had a lot of fun making these Oreo turkeys– even the grumpy teens liked them!

How to Store

Store these Thanksgiving Oreo turkeys in an airtight container at room temperature. Refrigerating these cookies will make them soggy.

Variations

There are a couple of different ways to customize these easy turkey cookies.

A great way to jazz up these simple turkey cookies with Oreos is by giving them turkey legs! Just stick two pretzel sticks into the bottom of each cookie.

Use white chocolate chips, chocolate frosting or white icing instead of semi sweet chocolate chips. Use a small dab of chocolate frosting or other frosting to glue the eyes and bead to the cookies.

Substitute the candy googly eyes with Reese’s pieces or mini m&ms.

Add a turkey wattle by piping a thin line of red frosting around the beak.
