Simple and sweet.
There’s no doubt about it… I LOVE Valentine’s Day! Yes, I know, it’s a Hallmark holiday, but the little girl in me still can’t get enough of all those pink sparkly hearts. Plus, there is usually chocolate involved on this holiday. BONUS!
Now on to these super EASY Valentine’s Day cookies. Have you seen those half dipped Valentine’s Day fortune cookies? SO CUTE!
Since our local grocery store didn’t have any fortune cookies, I quickly searched around for something similar to dip in chocolate and cover in sprinkles. I found these pink wafer cookies right away. Yay! They were already pink, AND seemed they they would be much easier to eat than fortune cookies.
Easy Valentine’s Day Cookies
- white melting chocolate ( or whatever color you would like)
- wafer cookies
- variety of Valentine’s Day sprinkles
- parchment or wax paper
- 1. Start by melting your chocolate as direct on package. I found this great tub of marshmallow flavored melting chocolate that you pop right in the microwave. I loved the easy clean up!
- While you are waiting for the chocolate to melt, gather your sprinkles and cookies. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. This will prevent sticking while the cookies dry.
- Once chocolate is melted, dip the top half of a wafer cookie.
- Quickly sprinkle on your chosen sprinkles.
- Place on prepared baking sheet to dry.
Our cookies were totally dry within 35 minutes. But this may vary on what melting chocolate you use. These have been requested by both kids AND my husband for dessert every night this week. These Easy Valentine’s Day Cookies have definitely become a family favorite!

This is fantastic! My daughter, dad and I were just snacking on wafers last night. And thinking of how else we could make it yummier. We were actually thinking of making it a la KitKat since we love KitKat. Just not sure if it would work. You just gave me the answer. Thank you.

This is such a great idea! I know that my children will love this… although, I have an inkling that they’ll love eating them most of all! 😉 Thank you!!!
Steph says
Love this idea! How far in advance can you make this treat?
Corey says
As long as you keep them in a sealed bag, I would say a week or so 🙂
Steph says
Thanks 🙂
Andrea says
❤️ where did you find the marshmallow flavor candy coating? Thanks
Corey says
Our local grocery store had it, but I do think you could find this on Amazon.

I love this recipe. I’ve made it several times for Valentine’s Day and other holidays by just changing the wafer cookies and the sprinkles.
