👩🍳 How to Make Cute Wafer Pencil Cookies
Prepare Melts: Melt pink and black (or dark brown) candy melts in separate bowls according to package directions.
Shape the Tips: Cut one end of each wafer cookie into a point using a sharp knife to create a pencil tip shape.
Dip the Erasers: Dip the flat end of each cookie into melted pink candy to create the eraser. Let set on parchment paper.
Dip the Tips: Dip the pointed end into melted dark candy or chocolate to create the pencil tip. If using, add a mini chocolate chip at the very tip for extra detail.
Optional Detail: Use white candy melts to add a “wood” detail where the tip meets the wafer for an extra realistic touch.
Let Set: Place on parchment paper and allow candy melts to harden completely before serving.
✨ Fun Decorating Ideas & Tips
Add thin lines with edible markers or icing to make them look like pencil grooves.
Attach a small gift tag or thank-you note to make them extra special for teachers.
Make a batch in different “colors” using different candy melts to look like colored pencils.
Package them in clear treat bags with ribbons for a cute gift.

- Dip the pointed ends of each wafer into the white candy melts to create the “wood” part of the pencil.
- While still wet, place a mini chocolate chip on the tip as the “lead.” Let set.

- Allow all parts to set completely before serving or packaging. Enjoy!
