Turkey cookies are fun to make with girl scouts, preschoolers, middle schoolers, and even grown ups. Everyone enjoys them and has fun making them! These turkey cookies are a treat. There is nothing healthy about them... but they sure are yummy!

2. Next, use frosting to attach the striped cookie to the back part of the shortbread cookie.
3. After that, add a little bit of frosting to the front of the cookie and then add half of a peanut butter cup to create the turkey's body.
