I don't know about you, but I really feel that this summer is just whizzing by! School will be here before you know it!! I really can't believe that Dominic will be going into 10th grade in about five weeks, YIKES!!! A friend posted this recipe on her personal Facebook page and they looked so easy to make I just knew I had to make them. Aren't they so cool to make for "back-to-school?" Plus, you don't have to heat up the oven. Dominic and the hubby LOVED these cookies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still have a little more "practice" to do, but this first batch came out pretty well if I do say so myself! One thing I discovered is that out of a 14.1 ounce package of Vanilla Sugar Wafers (I used the Voortman brand), some had broke and others the top came off. They are way more fragile than I thought.
Vanilla Sugar Wafer "Pencil" Cookies
14.1 ounce package Vanilla Sugar Wafers
1 cup white candy melts
1 cup pink candy melts
24 chocolate chips
Using a sharp knife, cut one end of 24 vanilla sugar wafers, so it resembles a point of a pencil and place on a large cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Melt the white candy melts in a small bowl in the microwave until smooth. Dip the pointed end of the vanilla sugar wafer in the white candy melts and place on the parchment paper. Place a chocolate chip on the "point." Let dry. Melt the pink candy melts in a small bowl in the microwave until smooth. Dip the other end of the vanilla sugar wafer in the pink candy melts and place on the parchment paper to dry. Keep covered at room temperature. Makes 24 "pencils."
