This is a fun, no-bake project the whole family can enjoy. Try this No Bake Thanksgiving Cookie Project — let the kids (and adults) get creative with decorations. You can adapt the idea for any holiday or celebration. Have fun and enjoy the tasty results!
These little turkey cookies come together quickly and are perfect for a busy holiday day.
Use whatever candies and cookies you already have on hand — no special shopping required.
I always keep candy eyes, chocolate chips and round cookies available. They make decorating easy and fun.
On Thanksgiving, while the meal is being prepared, this is a great oven-free activity for kids.
When my son and his cousins made these, they proudly displayed their creations on the dessert table — and everyone gobbled them up.
Grandparents can join in too; it’s an easy way to create memories together.
They don’t need to be perfect — the charm is in their homemade look.
Enjoy, and happy Thanksgiving!
