mini turkey and indian cookies

hey so my son tells me,
"mom i signed us up to bring thanksgiving 
cookies for our class party."
eek!
i gotta bring thanksgiving cookies? 
who has thanksgiving cookies?
anyone? anyone? bueller?
oh gosh i gotta make some!

no prob. i got this!
i saw some ready made turkey cookies at target the other day.
just throw them babies in the oven and we are good to go...
dum dee dum...

i head off to target to grab me a few packages...
and i go right to the aisle..
to see, it's all EMPTY!
crud!
i start to panic. 
so i go to walmart that's up the next block.

there's gotta be some turkey packages around here somewhere.
and lo and behold.
nada!
crud!

i was in a turkey cookie panic.
i do not have time to make thanksgiving cookies i thought!
so why the heck don't i just get regular ole cookies and call it a day?

well, i was just about to go there til i saw this:
hey! i think i know what to do now.
 i opened up my sprinkle drawer at home.
i baked the cookies as directed.
and did this:
and added this:
and got this:
and attached these:
to get these:
but uh oh...
i was running out of sprinkles for the rest of the cookies...
would these do?
a one-feathered turkey?

noooo...
let's fix that.

whew! i got my thanksgiving cookies after all.
now i gotta find the time to bag these all.

oh the joys of the holidays!

when's christmas again?
:>O

    1. i think i am spoiling his class now-on halloween i made treat bags and a student brought it up to the office for the class collection. when it was time to pass them out, there were a few missing! this time i made a few extra-guess that's better than no one liking them! ;) you know J, making stuff is in our blood!

    1. those indians are what i call a happy accident Karen! i was gonna put a sour belt band on the head but ran outta time. that would boost the cuteness factor up quite a bit don'tcha think? :)
