Pencil Cookies!

While everyone has been busy getting the kiddos ready to go back to school, I've been busy making "Back to School" treats.  Just in case you're already "Back to School" please consider these as "After School Treats"!!  And I'd like you to "Pencil Me In" and make these cookies!

Packaged in Pretzel Bags!

Make your own pencil cookie cutter, or you may easily cut them by hand.

Here's the size I made to fit in the pretzel bags ~ PENCIL TEMPLATE

After the cookies are baked and while cooling, get your fondant ready.

You know... if you've got it then "fondant" it!  :)

Here's how~

Started with brown, pink and white fondant

Added a little dark pink and brown fondant to the light pink fondant for the eraser color

Rolled and cut out the pink fondant with the top of the pencil cookie cutter

Added a little white fondant to the brown for the pencil point color

Rolled and cut the brown with the tip of the pencil cookie cutter

Using a scalloped cutter, cut the top of the brown fondant

Using a lined impression mat, rolled the white fondant

Brushed the white fondant with the silver shimmer dust

Measured and cut the white fondant in rectangles for the silver band of the pencil

Rolled and cut the black fondant with the pencil tip cookie cutter, then trimmed at the top

Place the black tip on the pencil tip

Now all your fondant pieces are ready to place on the frosted cookie

But of course you have to frost it first

Pipe one strip down the middle

Then another strip on each side

Clean the edges with a spatula and add the fondant pieces!

It even writes!!

Just Kidding...But after all that work it should!

Each day this week I'll be featuring some fun "Back To" or "After" School Treats!

So...Pencil Me In!
