Turkey Cookies

I signed up to take cookies to Brody's school tomorrow for their Thanksgiving Feast. I thought about taking the easy way out and making some cookies from the cookie dough that we bought from the school's fundraiser...but that wouldn't have been any fun for Brody! So...I decided to make something a little more interesting...and Brody was excited to be my helper! He put the cookies on the cookie sheet, poured ingredients into the mixing bowl for the icing, and ate/licked anything I'd let him! After licking the spatula for the chocolate icing.

Here's Brody's Turkey Cookie!

And my Turkey Cookies! Aren't they cute :) Notice that there's 1 that's not like the other. Brody added a few more eyes to his Turkey Cookie (click on the picture to see the detail on the cookies).

I had a lot of fun making these with Brody. He was really good while I was trying to decorate my turkeys. I think it's because he was scarfing down the candy corn without me noticing! I was starving come lunch time...but I could hardly get him to eat anything! I let him have some roomtime while I cleaned up our mess. I'm usually a "clean as you go" type of baker...but it's kinda hard to do that when a 2 year old is helping you.
