For Thanksgiving, my sister Joellen had the idea to make some really cute sugar cookies decorated like turkeys. She got the idea from a really cute cookie blog: Bake at 350.
To start, we followed Paula Deen's recipe for Snowflake Cookies. When the dough was finished, we covered it with plastic wrap and let it chill for about an hour.
We rolled it out, and used a knife to cut around the turkey cutout we printed from the website I can't remember the name of.
We arranged them on top of parchment paper on the cookie sheet, and baked them.
They looked great!
We made royal icing and mixed in the different food color gels!
Icing the cookies was fun! First, we piped the outline of the turkey shape,
and then we filled in the outline by "flooding" the area with slightly thinner icing.
Joellen added the turkey face and they were complete!
They were delicious too!
Yay! This makes me so happy! It was so much fun making these with you and I can't wait to bake more things with my favorite sister over Christmas :)
