Ingredients

24 frosted cupcakes

24 Nutter Butter cookies

white frosting or decorator’s gel

Red frosting or decorator’s gel

Oreo cookies

Mini chocolate chips

Fruit leather, various flavors and colors

toothpicks

Directions

To make each turkey, press the lower portion of a Nutter Butter cookie into a frosted cupcake for the bird’s head.

Use tiny dabs of white frosting to stick on mini-chocolate chip eyes and red frosting in a tube to make the wattle.

For each turkey’s tail, use a butter knife to cut out a 6 feather shapes (about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide) from fruit roll-ups or similar candy.

Take an Oreo cookie and twist in half. Lay cookie half down with frosting side up. Lay 6 of the feather shapes in a fan pattern on the Oreo cookie with the tips of the feathers extending about a 1/2 inch beyond the edge of the cookie.

Wedge the cookie down into the back of the cupcake to create the tail portion.

Place in a clean cupcake tin to serve!
