While my hubby is out hunting Turkey……I’ve been home BAKING these cute little turkey cookies!

I was cleaning out a cabinet the other day when I found a turkey cookie cutter I had never used, probably because I thought they would be WAY to complicated to decorate! lol

I have a sweet friend I wanted to send a little something to, so I thought some Turkey cookies would be a fun surprise! (she has a November birthday).

Bridget has a post where she tells you exactly how to decorate your Turkey cookies! My lucky day!! They’re not nearly as complicated as they look! and Bridget’s instructions are fantastic!!
