Okay unless you are (or live with) a cookie freak with a serious sweet tooth, you're going to have to take a trip to the store for this one (sorry), but they're so cute, I think it's worth it. Plus everything you need is available at the grocery store, and don't you have to go there anyway? Just add this to the shopping list:
Nutter Butters, Vanilla Wafers, Anna's Ginger Thins, Candy Corn and Royal Icing (or make your own - simple recipe to follow).
Got everything? I'd write about how to make these, but it would take forever, bore you, and make about zero sense, so just watch me to do it... so much easier!
And one more idea: Skip the Vanilla Wafers, and make cupcake toppers by pressing the head and tail into into the icing.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
And here's the recipe, as promised, for easy royal icing:
One Egg White (the sugar preserves the egg whites, but if you're worried about it, you can get pasteurized eggs whites and use 1/4 cup)
One and a half - two cups Powdered Sugar
Half teaspoon Vanilla Extract
With an electric mixer beat the egg white until peaks form, slowly add the sugar and continue beating on low until smooth and thick enough that when you lift the mixer, the ribbon of icing that falls from it stays on the surface of the icing for a few seconds.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container or it will harden.
