  2. Melt the white chocolate in another bowl using the same method.
  3. Cut the wafer sheets into pencil shapes, approximately 15cm long and 1cm wide.
  4. Create small round pieces from another wafer sheet to serve as pencil tips.
  5. Dip one end of each wafer strip into the melted dark chocolate and let them set on a lined tray.
  6. Beat the unsalted butter with powdered sugar until creamy, adding food coloring if desired.
  7. Spread buttercream on each wafer, leaving the chocolate-dipped tip bare.
  8. Attach the small wafer rounds at the tips using some melted chocolate.
  9. Optionally coat the rest of the pencil cookies with more colored buttercream.
  10. Use a layer of white chocolate at the opposite end to represent an eraser.
  11. Decorate with sprinkles or edible silver balls while the chocolate is still soft.
  12. Allow the cookies to set completely before serving.
