Blast from the Past: No Bake Turkey Cookies {plus Spinoff}

We recently made Raegan's no-bake turkey cookies and of course the kids loved them. A whole lot. What's not to love? Sugar, sugar, sugar.

We also recently went to story time at the library, where they made something similar:

I thought that was a great way to lessen the sugar impact if desired. Yes, I was a weird mom squeezing in there to get a picture of the turkey with my phone :) All for you people! All for you.

This cookie is one half of an oreo, candy corn, and a Hershey's Kiss. You could do a malt ball instead of the kiss. The kiss is stuck on using white frosting (when we made our turkey cookies, I had some green frosting already made so we used that instead! Kids don't care).

Kristy Powers said...: I made those turkey cookies too (Raegan's) with the same result - lots of love from the kids! But it was too much sugar for me! :) I really like the modified version because it's a teensy bit more teeth-friendly. My older son is under dentist's orders not to have a lot of the hard or chewy candies, which leaves out candy corn but the rest of the modified version would be okay. ;; November 19, 2010 at 11:30 AM
