Every Thanksgiving my dad would carve the turkey.  He would always save the wishbone for us.  Curious where the wishbone-cracking custom came from?  It all started with the Romans, who pulled apart chicken clavicles hoping for good fortune.  We continue this  same tradition today.

I found this cookie cutter at Fancy Flours and fell in love with it (you can find it here).  I thought it was a fun Thanksgiving cookie cutter.  These cookies are simple to make.  I piped and flooded them with white icing and allowed them to dry for twenty four hours.  The next day I used ivory food coloring mixed with some alcohol to paint on the shadowing.  I also painted on "Wish Big" with black food coloring.  That's it!  Another simple cookie that can make a big statement on your Thanksgiving table.

Make sure you find the wishbone in your turkey and make a BIG wish.  If you don't know how it works, it's simple.  Each person grabs an end of the wishbone giving it a yank.  If you get the bigger piece, your wish will be granted.
