Graham Cracker Turkey Cookie
This recipe has been in my family since I was old enough to hold a cookie. My mother and I used to make these every Thanksgiving, and it has been one of my favorite family baking traditions. Now that I have kiddos who are old enough, I am so happy to be sharing this with them! They really enjoyed making these little turkeys, and I can’t wait to see you share them with your family too!

How To Make Turkey Cookies

- Add frosting to candy corn and place on the opposite end, pointed side down, of the marshmallow
Note- you can use the original fudge stripe cookies with the chocolate, which is my go-to. Or give these maple ones a try for a fun change!

2. Lay the marshmallow on the curved side onto a graham cracker.
