Because THIS:
If you go back and compare my cookies to the picture, you will see some obvious differences:
1) My Wattle/Gobbler thingey looks like a tongue. Ooops!
2) Definitely could not figure out the eyes. My turkeys actually somewhat resembled the basic concept of the (FAKE) Crocker cookies until I butchered them with the eyes!
3) My turkeys are brown because I actually cooked the cookies. I KNOW the LIARS used uncooked cookies. Otherwise, how would they have not even browned them one bit?? I can't serve RAW cookie dough to kids! Come On!
4) I bought the wrong sprinkles for the feathers. Shut Up!
5) My turkey beaks look like smiles! (I was NOT smiling as I made them!)
This is William and his buddies:
Caleb got to eat Bob (The one is the first picture):
Unfortunately, I did NOT learn my lesson....so I will be making more turkeys tonight. Hopefully I learned a few things....

One more thing I realized while reviewing my post. Those Stupid Betty CROCKer people even used a spotlight when they took their picture. Show-Off's! I'm sure if I got my photogrpaher friend Rebecca to take pictures of my turkeys, they would look better......on second thought, probably not!
Hey... just a thought... instead of using cookies for the feathers, try using candy corn... that will still give a feathered look and you don't have to ice or sprinkle :-)
Thanks for the "advice"...but I hate hate hate candy corn. I would rather make something ugly than something unedible...hehe....any other suggestions??
I think your cookies look good. Besides, the kids aren't going to care what they look like.
I am impressed with them...a whole lot better than I could ever do :) Kudos to you for even trying to make turkey cookies.
I laughed my way through this entire post! I give you much credit for even attempting them! Besides, Caleb looks like he is enjoying them!
