I am the room mom this year for my older sons 4th grade class and totally forgot that I needed to make the kids some treats for Thanksgiving until later this afternoon. I needed something quick and easy! We are always loaded up on Keebler and Hershey products so we created these fun Reese’s Turkey Cookies!

I didn’t have time to mess with coloring frosting, baking, etc…plus I have little helping hands and didn’t want a mess. These are great cookies to get the kids to help with themselves and they will love separating the colored M&M’s as well!

What You’ll Need

  • Keebler Butter Cookies
  • Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups
  • Hershey’s Mini M&M’s
  • Edible eyes or Jet-Puffed Mallobits

How To Make Reese’s Turkey Cookies

  • Have the kids separate the yellow, orange and red mini M&M’s in 3 separate bowls.
  • Take a hand full of the orange M&M’s and cut them in half. Take the chocolate cookie frosting and make 3 lines on the top.
  • Add a strip of red at the top, then add orange in the middle and then yellow at the bottom.
  • Attach the peanut butter cup on the with frosting as well.
  • Use edible eyes or cut the mallobits in half with a knife and press a black edible marker in the middle.
  • We used the orange M&M’s halves for the feet and beak. We used a red sprinkle for the wattle.
  • Let them dry and that’s it!!

We made 24 of them and I think the kids will love them tomorrow!

    So cute. I like that you used M&M's for the feathers and the beak. I bet the kids loved them!

  2. I am surprised with all the the allergies you can still bring peanut butter into school. They look very cute but we could never bring cookies let alone PB>

    1. Thanks…our school goes by the class. There is no one in my sons 4th grade class with allergies. If there was…I would use a different candy for them.
