In a small microwave safe mixing bowl, melt the red candy melts in the microwave. Melt in 30 second intervals at 50% power. Stir between each interval. This will take 4-5 minutes.
Transfer the melted candy melts in a piping bag. Pipe melted candy melts onto the outside edge of one side of the cookies. Use the piped candy melts to attach 9 candy corns to the outside edge of one side of the cookie. You want the narrow end of the candy corn to be facing inward. Allow to set for 3 minutes.
Flip the cookie over and using the melted candy, attach two eyes. Use the red melted candy to create a little “wattle” leading from the eyes and immediately press 2 orange round sprinkles to create a little beak. Allow the face to set for 3 minutes.
Place a dollop of the red melted candy at the base of the cookie and press one of the yellow candy melts into it to create a base. This will allow the cookie to stand upright.
Allow to set for 5 minutes and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

If you can't find red candy melts, use some yellow or orange in its place. Then you can use a red jelly bean or red M&M as the wattle. Or, cut some red licorice into tiny pieces for the wattle.
You can also use an orange M&M as the beak! Or, cut triangle shapes out an orange starburst and attach with melting candy.
If you have trouble finding candy eyes, you can make some out of melting candy, fondant, or M&Ms.
