Turkey Cookies

These are my favorite cookies to make for the Thanksgiving season because they are really easy and yummy and cute. :) I've made them 2 years in a row. Although, I'll probably have to skip this year because I have no money and I'll be staying somewhere else other than my apartment. (Tennessee!!) But I like them anyways...

Turkey Sugar Cookies
1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated sugar cookies
1 container (16 oz) chocolate creamy frosting
Candy corn
Orange decorating icing
Black decorating gel
Miniature candy-coated chocolate baking bits
(I usually just use white frosting then dye a little of it orange. But whatever works.)

Heat oven to 350°F. Bake cookies as directed on roll. Cool completely, about 20 minutes. Then
spoon chocolate frosting into resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut small hole in bottom corner of bag. On each cookie, pipe frosting on outer edge of half of cookie. Arrange candy corn over frosting for feathers. Pipe orange icing onto each cookie to resemble turkey face and feet. Use orange icing to attach baking bits to turkey face for eyes. Pipe black gel on baking bits for centers of eyes.
