GOBBLER GOODIES



Gobbler Goodies image

TURKEY at Thanksgiving is a timeless tradition. But you can give your holiday meal a novel twist with these birds of a different feather. The holiday treats are cute, sweet and made from all kinds of goodies youngsters love to nibble on. "The kids and I had a ball making these tasty turkeys for Thanksgiving one year," shares Sue Gronholz of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. "They loved forming the turkey bodies from the gooey cereal mixture and twisting the sandwich cookies apart. "But using chocolate frosting to "glue" on the candy corn was their favorite part." This recipe makes a big batch of tempting turkeys, so there are plenty for snacking and sharing. These festive fall treats also would make fun favors at each place setting on your Thanksgiving table-if your family doesn't gobble them up first!

1 package(s) candy corn
1 box(es) malted milk balls

Steps:

  • - Preheat oven at 350°F - Prepare cookie dough and chill for 2 hours or overnight.
  • - Tip on rolling dough: These types of cookies are always best when rolled on a lightly floured surface. Using not properly chilled dough or working in a warm kitchen can make things difficult. Pre-chilling your work surface is easily done by placing a couple of cookie sheets filled with ice on the area where you will be rolling the dough.

At this time when cookies are pressed lightly with a finger they should spring back. - Allow to cool. If they are not crisp enough when cool, return to the oven for a few more minutes.
  • - Prepare creamcheese icing, Fill a pastry bag or zip lock bag with royal icing and sandwich the large cookies together with royal icing. Set "turkey tail" aside. Keep remaining icing tightly wrapped. - Melt candy coating. For balance cut a sliver of the side of a peanut butter cup and dip it into candy coating. Place it onto center of a small cookie. Let "body" harden. - Meanwhile dip white part of candy corn into candy coating and stick between sandwiched cookies.
  • - Dip bottom of malted milk ball into candy coating and place on peanut butter cup. Let "head" harden. - Using a finger dip a little candy coating on each side of peanut butter cups and attach a candy corn "wing" - For beak cut white top of candy corn and attach to head using candy coating. - Using a piping bag pipe eyes on turkey (optional) finish with piping slightly cooled candy coating for pupil. - Dip "tail" in candy coating and place on back of "body" - Make remaining creamcheese icing orange and using a bag pipe the feet. - Preheat oven at 350°F

Gobble Gobble Turkey Cookies image

These are so easy to make and all ages find them fun and adorable. I suggest making them the day before you need them to give the frosting time to set.

Provided by Teresa Varela @tvarela1234

Categories     Turkey

Number Of Ingredients 5

24 - fudge stripe cookies
24 - chocolate chip cookies (not soft)
24 - candy corns (full pieces)
24 - peanut butter cups (mini)
1 can(s) chocolate frosting

Steps:

  • PREP: Open both packages of cookies and candy corn. Unwrap 24 mini peanut butter cups. Place chocolate frosting in a decorating bag with small tip, or in quart size ziplock bag with small corner cut. Lay out on large serving tray 5 chocolate chip cookies at a time. (Work in sets of 5 for easier handling)
  • CONSTRUCTION: Squeeze a dollop of frosting onto each of the 5 cookies near the edge. Add a dollop of frosting to 5 peanut butter cups on the top, or largest side. With one hand take a fudge striped cookie with stripes going vertical (upright, so that they appear to be the turkey feathers) and place into dollop on chocolate chip cookie, while at the same time with the other hand placing the peanut butter cup flat against the striped cookie so that it touches both cookies. (This is the turkeys body) With a toothpick or very small decorating tip place 2 chocolate dots by the largest part of candy corn to resemble eyes. Place a small amount of frosting on the other side of the candy corn near the largest part and gently place on top of peanut butter cup to resemble the beak and face. Squeeze out two chocolate legs to complete turkey. REPEAT PROCESS UNTIL ALL COOKIES AND CANDIES ARE USED!! **DO NOT COVER FOR AT LEAST 5 HOURS AND LET AIR DRY TO ALLOW FROSTING TO SET AND HOLD COOKIE PIECES TOGETHER. AFTER ABOUT 5 HOURS LIGHTLY COVER WITH SARAN WRAP TO AVOID DUST AND LET SIT OVER NIGHT TO INSURE FIRMNESS**
  • AWESOME FOR PARTIES: Your serving tray should look similar to this when completed.
