These cute & easy to make Pencil Cookies are a perfect back to school snack idea!
Pencil Cookies
The Back to School Season will be in full swing soon, and I have another very cute & easy idea for parents to make with children or Teachers/PTO members to make for Meet the Teacher Days! Like the Apple Cookie Pops I shared earlier this week, these Pencil Cookies require just a few ingredients to create!
Pencil Cookies Ingredients
Ingredients:
Wafer Cookies
White melting chocolate
Pink melting chocolate
Chocolate chips (Use mini chocolate chips for smaller cookies)
Other Materials:
Sandwich bags
Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the squared corners off of one side of each wafer cookie so they are in the shape of a point at one end.
Melt the white and pink chocolate according to package directions.
Use the white melting chocolate to draw around the edge of the triangle tip of each wafer cookie to create the “pencil tip”. Fill in the triangle in with the chocolate. Place a chocolate chip on the very end (point facing out).
Use the pink melting chocolate to trace around the opposite squared end of the wafer cookie, and completely fill in a rectangular shape to create the “eraser”.
Complete this process for all cookies. Allow melting chocolate to completely cool before enjoying.

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 0 minutes | Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:

Directions:
- Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the squared corners off of one side of each wafer cookie so they are in the shape of a point at one end.
- Melt the white and pink chocolate according to package directions.
- Scoop each color of melting chocolate into its own sandwich bag. Press the chocolate all the way until it reaches the bottom of one corner of the bag. Use scissors to snip off a very small tip to allow the chocolate to slowly flow through.
- Use the white melting chocolate to draw around the edge of the triangle tip of each wafer cookie to create the “pencil tip”. Fill in the triangle in with the chocolate. Place a chocolate chip on the very end (point facing out).
- Use the pink melting chocolate to trace around the opposite squared end of the wafer cookie, and completely fill in a rectangular shape to create the “eraser”.
- Complete this process for all cookies. Allow melting chocolate to completely cool before enjoying.

September 12, 2018 at 6:20 pmThe fun concept of these cookies is that you can use any flavor of wafer cookie you like- Maple flavored wafers would be good for this.
