A Flock of Turkeys

By idocakes

"Making a gaggle of these gobblers is a fun project to do with kids," suggests Zoraya Jennings of Fredericksburg, Virginia. Her cute, easy turkey cookies make great school treats or sweet favors for a Thanksgiving gathering.

Ingredients

• 48 sugar cookies (3 inches)
• 1 package (12 ounces) chocolate and marshmallow cookies
• 1 can (16 ounces) chocolate frosting
• 1 cup vanilla frosting
• Yellow and red paste food coloring

Preparation

Step 1

Using a serrated knife, cut 1/2 in. from one side of 24 sugar
cookies. Using a sharp knife, cut marshmallow cookies in half
vertically. Spread chocolate frosting over the bottom of each
marshmallow cookie half; align cut edges of a marshmallow cookie and
a sugar cookie, and press together to form each turkey body and
feathers.

Spread chocolate frosting over the cut edges of each turkey; position
and attach near the back edge of a whole sugar cookie.

Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag. Insert a
#12 round pastry tip; fill bag with 3/4 cup chocolate frosting. Pipe
a neck and head on each turkey.

Tint 1/2 cup vanilla frosting yellow and 1/2 cup red. With a #3 round
pastry tip and yellow frosting, add eyes, beaks and legs. With #3
round tip and red frosting, pipe snood and tail feathers. Store in
the refrigerator. Yield: 2 dozen.
