Method
 

Instructions
  1. Crush Oreos: Finely crush the Oreo cookies using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Aim for a fine crumb consistency.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the melted chocolate, softened butter, peanut butter, and vanilla extract to the crushed Oreos. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
  4. Shape Turkeys: Roll small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) into oval shapes for the turkey bodies. Gently shape them into slightly elongated ovals.
  5. Assemble Turkeys: Attach candy corn for feathers, mini marshmallows for wattles, pretzel sticks for legs, and small candies for eyes.
  6. Chill (Optional): For easier handling, chill the assembled turkeys on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Serve: Enjoy your adorable Thanksgiving Oreo Turkey Cookies!

Notes

If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon or two of milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. Get creative with your decorations! You can use different colored candies or sprinkles to personalize your turkeys.
