In my town the Wed night before Thanksgiving the city turns on the Christmas lights on main street. The streets are decorated. Here it is a tradition to put your tree up the day after thanksgiving. I would still want the pie for desert, but I do not think Christmas cookies would be rushing it. Yes there are turkey cookies that could be baked. You can also look at it this way. When there are Halloween decorations in the store they are already bringing out the Christmas decorations. I think people should bake more then on the holidays. I have always wanted to have a Christmas in July.

If you are referring to the US Thanksgiving in November, no not too early, but if you mean Canadian Thanksgiving in October, YES.
But really there needn't be a problem, most Christmas cookie recipes could be adapted, just use different coloured frostings (like yellow, orange, chocolate brown, red) for Thanksgiving and make them look like pumpkins instead of Christmas balls, smush the tree shape so it is more cornucopia shaped etc.
Dollar stores should have some different shaped cookie cutters and other decorating stuff too so you needn't spend a lot getting a Thanksgiving set.

Depends. What kind of cookies are they? If they're shaped like Christmas objects, then yes, it's too early. But there are many cookies that could be called "Holiday cookies" that can be brought to both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

While most people said it is too early, I say differently. It's NEVER too early for GOOD COOKIES! Just as long as you make a new batch for Christmas. To me it just seems like a fun idea-sure why not Christmas cookies at Thanksgiving? It might put people in the holiday spirit sooner than later.

No...cookies are good anytime. My family has Thanksgiving Dinner by the Christmas tree, so...Christmas cookies would not be out of place here.

Depends on the family's traditions I suppose.
We used to do a "name-drawing" for a Christmas gift exchange on Thanksgiving afternoon. Macy'sThanksgiving parade ends with Sata's sled arriving at Macy's door to kick off the Christmas shopping season.
If you traditionally put up Christmas lights or decorations on Thansgiving, then cookies would be fun and appropriate.
Either way, I wouldn't turn my nose up at anything a family member created with love in their heart. Also free food.

Well, you could always wait until after dinner and serve them with coffee, and announce that you wanted to be the first one to ring in the Christmas baking season. That way it is after the official Thanksgiving dinner. Besides, the Christmas decorations are already being put out in our local stores.

Yes it is too early. If you want to bring cookies, get a turkey cookie cutter. Make a pumpkin flavored cookie

Yes I would think so. Why don't you bring a pumpkin pie or buy those Pillsbury cookies that are shaped like turkeys or other Thanksgiving shapes?
