FAQs
How do you assemble Oreo turkey cookies so the candy corn feathers stay in place?
The melted chocolate acts as "glue." Use enough chocolate to make sure the candy corn sticks well, and let them cool before assembling further.
Can I make Oreo turkey cookies ahead of time for Thanksgiving?
Absolutely! You can prepare them the day before and keep them fresh in an airtight container.
What can I use instead of candy corn for the feathers?
If you’re not a fan of candy corn, small pretzel sticks or colored licorice pieces work wonders too.
How should I store Oreo turkey cookies to keep them fresh?
An airtight container at room temperature is perfect. Just keep them out of direct sunlight or heat.
