How to Make Pencil Wafer Cookies for your Kids!
You need:
Voortman wafer cookies
a paring or serrated knife,
mini chocolate chips
white and pink cookie icing
With your knife, cut the corners off of one side of your wafer, creating a point. This is your pencil’s tip.
Trace the pencil tip with the white icing.
Add a mini chocolate chip to create the pencil’s lead.
With the pink icing, create an eraser on the other end of the wafer cookie.
Place each cookie on a tray lined with parchment paper to let the icing set.
