You can make as many of these as you want! For each turkey cookie, you'll need 2 gingersnaps, 3-5 candy corns, chocolate frosting, 1 Hershey's kiss, and 1 red hot. Begin by cutting one gingersnap in half. If the gingersnap crumbles or doesn't cut cleanly, just set those pieces aside and try again. You can use all your mess ups to make a gingersnap crust for cheesecake or to sprinkle on ice cream.
Spread a thin layer of chocolate frosting (or squeeze a line of chocolate cookie icing) on the cut edge of one gingersnap half. Stick that gingersnap on the whole gingersnap so that it is standing up, and place it just behind the center of the other cookie. The frosting should act like glue to hold the two cookies together.
Spread frosting on the front of the cut gingersnap, and place 3-5 candy corns on to represent turkey feathers.
Spread frosting on the bottom of the Hershey's kiss, and place it frosting side-down onto the whole gingersnap in front of the turkey's "tail." The Hershey's kiss will be the turkey's body.
Dip one edge of the red hot into the frosting, then stick the red hot on the front of the Hershey's kiss just below the point at the very top. The red hot will be the turkey's wattle.
Allow the frosting to dry, then use the turkey cookies as a fun Thanksgiving treat, as cute cupcake toppers, or as creative place card holders.
