Wafer Pencil Cookies

This may sound trivial, but it drives me crazy and I am sharing a recipe for Back to School Pencil Wafers so I just have to put it out there as a public service announcement – putting a comma after quotation marks makes me bonkers. And it happens more than you realize!

The books, stories, and magazines we read together as a family are all proofed by publishers before printing. How and why do those commas in the wrong place escape them?! The comma always, no exception, goes before the quotation marks. Under no circumstances does it ever go after them, ever. It’s a pretty clear cut editing rule!

Sheesh.

You won’t catch commas in the wrong place around here! You’ll catch a million other typos, though. I am terrible at proofing, probably because I put too much attention on those silly commas!

What You’ll Need

12 Vanilla Wafer Cookies

1/4 cup White Chocolate Chips, Melted

12 Mini-Chocolate Chips

1/4 cup Pink Melting Wafers, Melted

How to Make Back to School Pencil Wafer Cookies

Lay out a piece of parchment paper.

Cut the ends of 12 vanilla wafer cookies into a point.

Melt 1/4 cup white chocolate chips, stirring in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth.

Dunk the pointed ends of the wafer cookies into the melted white chocolate just enough to make tips. Lay out on the parchment paper and position the mini-chocolate chips like ‘lead.’

Let harden.

Melt 1/4 cup pink melting wafers, stirring in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth.

Dunk opposite ends just enough to make erasers. Lay out on the parchment paper and let harden.
