Turkey Sugar Cookies Decoration Instructions
- Put a dab of white frosting on the top of the peanut butter cup (the wider side), attach to the center of the sugar cookie
- Put a dab of white frosting on the back side of the two eyes, attach to the top of the peanut butter cup (for a mini sized peanut butter cup the eyes will hang off the sides)
- Put a dab of white frosting directly on the peanut butter cup under the eyes and stick a Reese’s Pieces in the frosting standing up
- Put a dab of white frosting on one side of the candy corn (we used seven but you can use as many as you like) – attach them to the sugar cookie about the peanut butter cup
- Use the red frosting to make a waddle coming off the bottom of the peanut butter cup
