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 their children before returning to school. It’s also a great activity for Teachers/PTO members to make for Meet the Teacher Days!

Like the Apple Cookie Pops I shared earlier this week, these Easy Pencil Cookies require just a few ingredients to create. I used lemon flavor wafer cookies, white and pink melting chocolate and some chocolate chips for the pencil tips.

These wafer pencil cookies make the perfect back to school treat, and your kids will sure be happy to find one in their lunch boxes.

How to make Pencil Cookies

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 the melted chocolate to completely cool and set before enjoying.

Wafer Pencil Cookies ingredients:

COOKIES: I’ve used rectangular shaped lemon flavored Gluten Free Wafer Cookies, but you can use regular wafer cookies if you don’t need gluten free.
MELTING CHOCOLATE: I use a combination of white and pink melting chocolate to draw on cookies.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS: chocolate chips are used to create the pencil point, use mini chocolate chips for smaller cookies.

Flavor variations

Swap wafer cookies, for rectangular shaped sandwich cookies.
You can use any flavor of chocolate, for example chocolate orange chips would taste great with these lemon wafer cookies.
Or swap the pink melted chocolate for regular milk chocolate.
Add some colored or chocolate sprinkles to the pink chocolate at the base of the pencil cookie.

Recipe hints & tips

A serrated knife is easiest when cutting up the wafer cookies and stops then falling apart.
Sandwich bags are ideal for making mini piping bags for decorating the cookies with melted chocolate.

Instructions

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.
