These darling turkey cookies are so fun and festive! You’ll love how quick and easy they are. Perfect for bringing to a fall or Thanksgiving party, as part of your Thanksgiving menu, or wrapping up to give away. I’m sharing two fun versions…make one, or both!
I love really cute and fun holiday food, especially when I can make them quickly! Whether it’s Owl Cupcakes and Oreo Bats for fall and Halloween, Candy Cane Dippers for Christmas, or these darling Turkey Cookies for Thanksgiving, they’re a wonderfully easy way to celebrate the holidays. No baking or cooking required! These are perfect for little (and big) helpers, and my kids of all ages love to be in the kitchen with me to help dip and put the faces on.
They’re so fun for putting out on a Thanksgiving dessert table, and are especially popular with the kid crowd. Or package them up and deliver to friends and neighbors as a fun holiday gift!

Ingredients
I usually make both kinds at the same time, but I’ve listed ingredients separately in case you want to make just one or the other.
Nutter Butter Turkey Cookies
- Nutter Butter cookies
- Candy eyes
- Orange & red M&Ms
- Chocolate chips
Oreo Turkey Cookies
- Oreo cookies (or round sandwich cookies)
- Candy eyes
- Candy corn
- Yellow M&Ms
- Chocolate chips
Equipment
- Wax paper or parchment paper
- Small glass bowl
Instructions
Nutter Butter
In a glass bowl, microwave the chocolate chips for 20-30 seconds, then in 10-second intervals until you can stir smooth.
Using a spoon, spread melted chocolate on the top half of the cookie. You can also dip the entire half if you’d like to. Set it on a piece of wax paper or parchment paper.
TIP: Instead of dipping the top half of the cookie, I only spread it on the top. This reduces the amount of chocolate I need to use, and takes makes less mess.
Place the eyes at the top of the cookie, then add a whole orange M&M as a nose, directly underneath. Break a red M&M in half (or even fourths), and place to the right of the orange candy for the gobbler.
Let the chocolate set before packaging. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Oreo
In a glass bowl, microwave the chocolate chips for 20-30 seconds, then in 10-second intervals until you can stir smooth.
Using a spoon, cover the top of the cookie with chocolate. You can also dip the entire cookie if you’d like to. Set it on a piece of wax paper or parchment paper.
Place the candy eyes at the bottom of the oreo, and add a yellow M&M on its side for the nose.
Add candy corn around the top of the cookie in a semi-circle as the feathers.
Let the chocolate set before packaging. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
TIP: Make these gluten-free by using Gluten-Free Oreos! Everything else is already gluten-free. My daughter loves these!
FAQ
The Oreo version you can! Just sub out regular Oreos for the gluten-free version.
Yes! You can use any kind of round sandwich cookies–any brand or flavor will work.
I use the medium/regular size candy eyes–not the mini, or the largest size. I have tried the others and prefer the medium size, but any of them will work. It’s your preference!
Storage
Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can freeze them for up to 3 months.
