Thanksgiving Turkey Cookie Platter (Tutorial)
Gobble Gobble Gobble.....
How about making this cute turkey platter for your Thanksgiving Day celebration. :)
For this platter you'll need:
- 20 leaf cookies
- 1- 3" oval cookie
- 1- 2" oval cookie
- 1 long rectangle cookie (mine is 4" x 3/4")
- Brown 10-second glaze
- White 10-second glaze
- Gold, Green, Orange, & Red 10-second glaze (for feather cookies)
- 2 Black Sixlets
- Oval Platter
but my regular Sugar Cookie recipe will work just as well.
The "feathers" were cut with this awesome
gum leaf cutter.
Even though you have to order it from Australia......it's highly recommended.
But a plain leaf cutter will work just fine.

Outline and flood the "feathers" in various fall colors of
10-second glaze.
Outline and flood the oval and rectangle cookies with brown 10-second glaze.
When covering the smaller oval, be sure to
make a circle on one "end" of the oval to leave room for the "gobbler" to hang down.
After the feathers' base has dried for at least 30 minutes,
add vein markings with a
1.5 PME tip in the same color glaze.
Add details (see photo below) to the neck and body cookies in brown glaze using a 1.5 PME tip.
For the turkey face, pipe two large circles of glaze and add two
black sixlets on top.
Use gold glaze to pipe a beak.
After the neck and body cookies have dried overnight,
"glue" the neck cookie to the large oval body cookie (see photos below).
Now you can assemble all the cookies on a platter to make a turkey.....
ready for everyone to gobble up. ;)
