Change your mixer speed to low. Slowly add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
4
Use a cookie scoop to make half-tablespoon sized dough balls. Place them on a baking sheet about two inches apart. Bake for ⏱️ 9-11 minutes, until edges are slightly brown. Cool on the baking sheet for ⏱️ 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
5
While cookies cool, make the frosting. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth. Add the milk and vanilla extract; mix for ⏱️ 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.

Once cookies are cool, spread chocolate frosting generously on each. Arrange candy corn in a fan shape at the top for the turkey's tail. Place a mini Reese’s peanut butter cup in the lower center for the head. Use a tiny bit of frosting to stick two candy eyes and an orange M&M (beak) onto the Reese's cup. Add half a gummy worm for the wattle. Let frosting set at room temperature before serving.
