Cakespy: Thanksgiving Cookie Turkeys Recipe

• 40 fudge stripe cookies (or round, flat cookies of your choice)
• 1/3 cup frosting (used to "glue" the pieces together; chocolate works best because of the darker color)
• 20 chocolate covered cherries or similarly sized truffles with rounded tops
• 20 pieces candy corn
• Writing icing in white and black to make eyes on the turkeys (optional)

1. Place 20 cookies on a flat surface, striped side up. With frosting, attach one chocolate covered cherry or truffle to the top of each cookie, so that it covers the hole on the bottom. Position another cookie perpendicular to each base cookie so the the stripes are aligned; attach with frosting.
2. With a dab of frosting, attach one piece of candy corn to the front of each cherry for the head. If desired, use one two dots of white writing icing topped with a slightly smaller dot of black writing icing on each piece of candy corn to give the turkeys eyes. Let stand until set, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
