Easter chick dipped wafer cookies are a fun and easy way to make a special Easter treat the kids will love! They're made with crispy, thin, cream-filled sugar wafers dipped in melted yellow candy, then candy eyes and sprinkles are added for the face. They would be too cute to eat if they weren't so tasty!
In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the yellow candy melts and coconut oil. Heat for 30 seconds, stir, repeat, until fully melted and smooth. Depending on microwave power level, this should take between 3 and 5 minutes.
Pour the melted candy into a piping bag.
Place the wafers on a wire rack on top of a parchment-lined baking sheet to capture any dripping from the melted wafers.
Starting at the top of the cookie, pour or pipe the melted candy onto the cookie in a back and forth motion covering two-thirds of the cookie.
Allow the excess to drip off and then immediately, using tweezers, add 2 candy eyeballs and two of the flower-shaped sprinkles to resemble the feet.
Add 2 of the yellow hair sprinkles above the eyes, near the top and place the 2 orange sprinkles under the eyes to make the beak.
Allow to set for at least 10 minutes and enjoy!
Notes
Any sprinkles can be used for this as long as it resembles a beak and feathers. Piping the melted candy helps with a more consistent pour and reduces waste, however, if you'd prefer to not use a piping bag...Alternatives to piping:
dip the wafers into the melted yellow candy and let the excess drip off.
