Thanksgiving Cookies

The quickest Thanksgiving edible craft treat. These miniature cornucopia Thanksgiving cookies only require 3 ingredients and minutes to make!

Some Thanksgiving treats are pretty much the cutest thing you’ve ever seen, but then making them is a whole different story. Like you need to be a professional pastry chef/decorator to make them look even a little bit good, right?

These, however, require no special skills. They are so ridiculously easy! So easy that my two year old even made a few that are in these pictures!! Of course, not too many made it in the photo shoot because he was pretty busy eating all the bugles, cookies, and M&M’s as quickly as he could. His favorite of the three ingredients are actually the bugles, he could eat those all day long!! And me? I’ll take ALL the M&M’s please.

To make this very easy treat, simply attach a bugle to half of a cookie and add some M&M’s. 🙂 So just 3 ingredients to make these! I guess technically you could add a fourth ingredient if you want these cookies to be super stable — a tub of frosting (or homemade frosting would be a few more ingredients) to pipe on some of the M&M’s to keep them right where you want them. I just pressed the M&M’s into the creme filling in the oreo and they stuck fine. I also scraped off a little frosting from cookies that didn’t come apart pretty to use those and make the M&M’s stay in place.

I hope you enjoy these as much as my two year old:) Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Thanksgiving Cookies

By Chelsea Lords

These adorable miniature cornucopia cookies are the fastest Thanksgiving edible craft treat! With just 3 simple ingredients and a few minutes to assemble, you’ll have the cutest little desserts to impress your guests.

Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes minutes

Servings: 36 cookies

Ingredients 

USMetric

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 1 package (14 ounces) Golden Oreo Sandwich Cookies
• ▢ 1 bag Bugles
• ▢ 1 bag (10 ounces) mini M&M’s baking bits candies

Instructions 

• The ingredients don’t have specific amounts, as you’ll need to buy all those things anyway, and it depends on how many of the cookies come apart perfectly and how many Bugles look like cornucopias—you will likely have some leftover of both.
• Separate the golden Oreo sandwich cookies and eat or save the side of the cookie with no frosting. I found the best way to separate the Oreos is by twisting the top off from the bottom.
• On the side with the frosting, press a cornucopia-looking Bugle onto the cookie.
• Press the mini M&M’s strategically in and around the bugle. Use extra frosting from cookies that didn't separate well if needed to get the M&M’s firmly placed on the cookies.
• Alternatively, you can also use a tub of frosting if needed to pipe small amounts of frosting onto the M&M to get it very secure (I never found this necessary, but I also didn’t transport these to any gathering.)
