Have you ever had something happen in your life and as you navigate through you think to yourself, there is no way I am the only one? It is that precise feeling that planted the seed for what started out as a small personal passion project to help work through whatever was coming my way.

This month’s pick is a playful and tasty treat that’s perfect for getting into the back-to-school spirit! These adorable wafer cookie pencils are just as fun to make as they are to eat and they’re a great way to get the kiddos involved in the kitchen. With just a few simple steps, even the littlest helpers can join in on the fun!
What You’ll Need:
-
Wafer Cookies
-
Pink Candy Melts
-
White Candy Melts
-
Chocolate Chips
Let’s Make Some Pencil Cookies:
-
Prep your space: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up and cooling.
-
Shape the pencils: Use a knife to carefully cut one end of each wafer cookie into a point—two 45-degree angles should do the trick!
-
Melt the candy: In two separate bowls, melt the pink and white candy melts according to the package directions.
-
Dip the eraser: Gently dip the flat end of the cookie into the pink candy melts to create the eraser. Let any excess drip off.
-
Dip the pencil tip: Carefully dip the pointed end into the white candy melts to mimic the wood of a sharpened pencil.
-
Add the tip: While the white coating is still soft, press a chocolate chip onto the very tip to finish your “pencil.”
-
Set and snack: Lay the finished cookies on the parchment-lined tray and let them set completely. For quicker results, pop them in the fridge for a few minutes.
