Ingredients
- 20 Oreo Cookies
- 100 Candy Corn (5 per cookie)
- 40 Candy Eyes (2 per cookie)
- 20 Butterscotch Chips (1 per cookie)
- 1 container Vanilla Frosting
- Red Gel Food Coloring
Instructions
- Step 1: Divide the vanilla frosting evenly into two small bowls. Add a generous amount of red gel food coloring to one bowl and stir until the color is even.
- Step 2: Spoon the plain vanilla frosting into one piping bag and the red-tinted frosting into another. Snip the tips off both bags for easy piping.
- Step 3: Gently wedge 5 pieces of candy corn into the top edge of each Oreo cookie to form the turkey’s tail feathers.
- Step 4: Pipe three small dots of plain frosting onto each cookie—two for the eyes and one for the beak. Press candy eyes onto the top two dots and a butterscotch chip onto the bottom dot. Use the red frosting to pipe a small squiggle next to the beak to create the turkey’s wattle.
Tips & Variations
- Make it nut-free by choosing nut-free or allergen-safe candy brands, especially for classroom events.
- Substitute white chocolate chips or mini orange M&Ms for the butterscotch chips to change up the beak flavor.
- Add names by piping onto the cookies or candy feathers to use them as edible place cards.
- Turn this into a fun group activity by setting up a DIY turkey cookie decorating station at your party.
- Try different frosting flavors like maple, cream cheese, or chocolate to add unique twists while still holding decorations securely.
Storage
Store the decorated turkey Oreo cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you need to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week, but note the cookies may soften slightly. Let them come to room temperature before serving. Avoid freezing as candy eyes and frosting decorations can lose their texture.

Ingredients
Cookies and Candy
- 20 Oreo Cookies
- 100 pieces of Candy Corn (5 per cookie)
- 40 Candy Eyes (2 per cookie)
- 20 Butterscotch Chips (1 per cookie)
Frosting and Color
- 1 container Vanilla Frosting
- Red Gel Food Coloring (to tint half of the frosting)
Instructions
- Tint the Frosting: Divide the vanilla frosting evenly into two portions. In one small mixing bowl, add half of the vanilla frosting. Add a generous amount of red gel food coloring and stir well to evenly combine and achieve a vibrant red color.
- Prepare Piping Bags: Spoon the plain vanilla frosting into one piping bag and the red-colored frosting into another. Snip the tip off each piping bag to allow for easy, controlled frosting application.
- Create Tail Feathers: Carefully wedge 5 candy corn pieces into the top edge of each Oreo cookie, arranging them like turkey tail feathers protruding from the cookie.
- Attach the Face: Pipe three small dots of plain vanilla frosting on the front side of each cookie—two at the top for eyes and one below for the beak. Press two candy eyes onto the top frosting dots, place one butterscotch chip onto the bottom dot for the beak, then pipe a small squiggle with red frosting next to the beak to simulate the turkey’s wattle.

- Swap butterscotch chips for white chocolate chips or mini orange M&Ms for a different beak flavor.
- Add pipe-on names or use candy feathers as edible place cards for personalized treats.
