Instructions
  1. Crush Oreos: Finely crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt chocolate in a double boiler.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the melted chocolate, softened butter, peanut butter, and vanilla extract to the crushed Oreos. Mix until a dough forms. Add milk, a teaspoon at a time, if the mixture is too dry.
  4. Shape Turkeys: Roll about 1 tablespoon of dough into oval shapes for the turkey bodies. Gently shape into a slightly elongated oval.
  5. Decorate Turkeys: Attach candy corn for feathers, mini marshmallows for wattles, pretzel sticks for legs, and small candies for eyes.
  6. Chill (Optional): For easier handling, chill the turkeys on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Serve: Enjoy your adorable Thanksgiving Oreo Turkey Cookies!

Notes

For extra festive flair, use different colored candy melts for the chocolate or add sprinkles to the turkey bodies. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
