Last-Minute Thanksgiving Treat That Always Wins!

Thanksgiving treats can be adorable, but some require serious decorating skills. Not these! They’re so straightforward my two-year-old helped make them—though he mostly just ate the Bugles, cookies, and M&M’s. His favorite? Bugles. Mine? All the M&M’s!

Thanksgiving Cookies are simple to make, just attach a Bugle to half a cookie and fill it with M&M’s. Just three ingredients! For extra stability, add frosting to hold the M&M’s in place, but pressing them into the Oreo filling works fine too.

Hope you love these as much as my toddler did. Happy Thanksgiving!

A group of different holiday treats.

Ingredients

  • Golden Oreo Sandwich Cookies: Twist the cookies apart instead of pulling to keep the frosting intact for better sticking power in these Thanksgiving cookies.
  • Bugles: Pick ones that have a wide opening to hold more M&M’s.
  • Mini M&M’s: Press them firmly into the frosting or use extra Oreo filling to keep them in place.

How To Make Thanksgiving Cookies

  1. Split Oreos: If a cookie breaks, use frosting to stick it back together.
  2. Stick on Bugles: Press a Bugle into the Oreo frosting.
  3. M&M’s: Put bigger M&M’s at the bottom and smaller ones at top to make it look full.
  4. Make Sure Everything Stays: If needed, use extra Oreo frosting or a little store-bought frosting to hold the M&M’s in place.

Storage

Leftovers

  • Room Temp: Keep in an airtight container or resealable bag for up to a week.
