Pencil Cookie Cake

I’m sure you’ve seen a few different versions of this pencil cake. When a change in plans {and a scary thunderstorm} kept us indoors yesterday, I decided to surprise my niece and nephews with a variation of this same cake based on what I had in my house (to celebrate their first day of school of course!)

Since they all universally agree on cookie dough, I thought I’d make it a cookie cake instead!

 Your favorite cookie dough recipe

1 thin strip of tin foil (for the metal band)

1 jar of white frosting

Food coloring

7 chocolate chips

Mix dough up and spread on a cookie sheet. Bake until cooked through. Cut corners so that you have a “fat” pencil shape. {My boys were thrilled to eat the corners!} Then, frost the eraser {pink}, tip {white} and main body {yellow} last. Place a few chocolate chips for the point and lay tin foil between eraser and main body.

Voila!

The Recipients {Love you!}
