Why These Cookies Rock!

Easy but impressive. You can make these no bake dessert cookies almost as fast as you can melt the chocolate to use as glue. No complicated steps for these festive treats and they are actually so much fun to make!

Adorable cuteness. Everyone who sees these cute Oreo turkey cookies is going to walk away with a smile on their face and talk about them later with their friends and family. These cute little turkeys are perfect for the Thanksgiving holidays or classroom parties!

Tasty treats. Kids and adults alike love Oreos and candy corn. This fun treat is a win-win.

This no bake treat is as simple as melting the chocolate chips and then using it as the glue to make a turkey face on top of Oreo cookies using candies. That's it. It's not hard at all and you can even enlist your children to help if you want to make a mess together, make memories, and get chocolate everywhere.

Pro Tip: If you are making these darling turkeys with children, buy extra chocolate chips. 🙂

Ingredients for Oreo Turkey Cookies

Just a few simple ingredients are needed for this recipe. Refer to the recipe card for the measurements.

Fudge-Covered Round Sandwich Cookies. Oreo sandwich cookies or Nutter Butters will both work.
Chocolate Chips. For melting. You can use chocolate or white chocolate.
Candy Corn candies. Use whichever variety you want. Do not use any cracked or broken pieces of candy corn,
Yellow M & Ms. Orange might also work.
Candy Eyes. Available at your local craft store or wherever you buy cake decorating supplies.

Pro Tip: Don't tell your kids where you put the rest of the bag after you pull out all the yellow ones.

See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Step-By-Step Instructions

  1. Place cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet.

2. In a microwave safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips at 15 second intervals, stirring between, until completely melted.

3. Use the melted chocolate to “glue” the turkey feathers using candy corn pieces, into place on the cookie.

4. Spread melted chocolate on top part of the cookie. Place the candy corn side by side so that the yellow part of the candy corn is on top.

5. Place a dab of melted chocolate towards the bottom for the nose, two small dabs for the back of the candy eyes. Place a yellow m&m on its side for the turkey beak.

  • 6. Put the turkeys on wax paper lined baking sheet in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden before serving. Wipe any excess chocolate with a small knife.

Top Expert Tip

Be a little generous with the chocolate to make sure everything sticks well and your cute turkeys don't fall apart too soon.

Don't use old chocolate chips. If they are clumping in the microwave or double boiler instead of melting properly they have probably expired. Chocolate chips do not last from one holiday season to the next.

Recipe FAQs

Can I make Oreo Turkey Cookies gluten-free?

Absolutely. In many locations you can now buy the brand name cookies in gluten-free form. If you can't find your favorite brand, you can always find gluten-free sandwich cookies at your local grocery store. Ask around to find out where the gluten-free section is and you will be good-to-go.

Are Oreo Turkey Cookies allergy-friendly for my class party?

They can be. You can find allergy-friendly sandwich cookies at your local grocery store, free of the top seven allergies. You can also get allergy-friendly chocolate chips. The trick will be finding allergen free substitutes for candy corn and M&Ms which both are exposed to peanuts in the factory.

A quick search on Amazon will help you find a brand of chocolate candies that will work. This post will give you options for allergy-friendly candy corn, which does exist.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
