Easy Thanksgiving Cookie Cake

Published: Nov 11, 2024 Β· Modified: Nov 7, 2024 by Morgan Β· This post may contain affiliate links Β·

Looking for an easy, non-pie Thanksgiving dessert idea? Here's how to make super Easy Thanksgiving Cookie Cake! A guaranteed hit!

LISTEN, I know that Thanksgiving is all about the pie, I totally get that.

But, sometimes you just want to mix it up.

My kids are super picky eaters - and while I know they would love pie, it's not always easy to get them to try something unfamiliar. Even sweets!

That's why I like having a non-pie dessert on hand for Friendsgiving or Thanksgiving dinner.

And, sure, plain cookies are fine. But if you want to take it up a notch with little to no extra effort?

Enter: the Thanksgiving cookie cake.

You can of course use any cookie cake recipe, but using place + bake cookies makes it a super easy, 3 minute task.

And, can you resist those cute turkey cookies? I sure can't!

I hesitate to even call this a recipe - it's just assembly! Here's how easy it is to make!

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Shape the Dough: Press the sugar cookie dough into the bottom of a round cake pan. I prefer to use a springform pan for this cake.
  2. Add Sprinkles: This is optional, but I added sprinkles at this point, just for some extra fun!
  3. Add Turkey Cookies: Place the turkey cookies on top and gently press them into the bottom layer.
  4. Bake: Bake your cookie at 350 for about 30 minutes.
  5. Cool: Let your cookie cake cool completely before decorating.
  6. Decorate: This is where the fun really begins! Use icing to create a border or add words. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your designs!
