Yield: 42 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1  (16-ounce) package cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
  • 1/4  cup  red cinnamon candies
  • 1 1/4  cups  malted milk balls
  • 1  (16-ounce) container ready-to-spread chocolate frosting
  • 1  (9 1/2-ounce) package candy corn

Preparation

Separate each cookie carefully, leaving cream filling on one side; set cookie halves without filling aside.

Make a turkey body by attaching a cinnamon candy (for turkey head) to each malted milk ball (turkey body) with a dab of chocolate frosting. Attach a turkey body to center of each cookie half with cream filling using a dab of chocolate frosting.

Spread chocolate frosting on the inside of each cookie half that does not have cream filling. For the turkey tail, arrange candy corn on chocolate-frosting cookies with wide end of candy along outer edge. Attach each turkey tail behind a turkey body using chocolate frosting. Store assembled turkeys in the refrigerator.

Very cute cookie-the cook at preschool saw the tray I brought in for my daughter's class and decided to serve these to the entire school for Thanksgiving. Also easy enough for a party activity for young children. Kids may need some help splitting the cooki12/19/02
