Easter Chick Dipped Wafer Cookies
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!

- 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.

Notes
- You can use vegetable shortening instead of coconut oil, but coconut oil gives better flavor.
- Use any type of sprinkles that look like feathers and beaks.
- Store in an airtight container at room temp; stays fresh for up to 1 week.
- Piping the melted candy helps with a more consistent pour and reduces waste, however, if you'd prefer to not use a piping bag.
- dip the wafers into the melted yellow candy and let the excess drip off.
- pour the melted wafers onto the cookie.
