With just a few weeks to go before school starts back up, it's time to get those school supplies ready and start thinking about teacher gift ideas! I know how hectic this time of year can be, so today I'm collaborating with my favorite food-safe packaging supplier, ClearBags, to show you how to make EASY homemade teacher treats that even the kiddos can help with! No fancy cookie decorating needed - just some cookie sticks, frosting, clear treat bags, and printables!

What You Need To Make Sugar Cookie Teacher Treats
- 2x8" Crystal Clear Food-Safe Bags
- White Cardstock
- Printables (download below)
- Cookie Sticks (I used this cutter from Sweet Sugarbelle)
- Frosting
- Strong Double-Sided Adhesive
- Twine
How to Make Sugar Cookie Teacher Treats
- Cut sugar cookie dough into 1.25 x 5" sticks with a knife or cookie stick cutter. For pink eraser cookies, cut each stick in half to get 2 smaller cookies.
- Once cooled, frost each cookie stick yellow (or pink for the erasers). Place in refrigerator until frosting sets.
- Cut out pencil printables using an exacto knife or scissors.
- Slip each cookie stick into a 2x8" Crystal Clear Food-Safe Bag then tie closed with twine. Attach pencil tip & eraser printable to outside of bag with double-sided tape then finish off with a teacher gift tag, if desired!
Tip: To make the ruler cookie, simply use a black permanent marker to draw lines on outside of bag!

What I love about these easy teacher cookies is that they don't require fancy decorating skills or a ton of different colors of frosting. Just mix up one frosting color, slip in a skinny food-safe clear bag and then let the printables make the design come together!

Top each cookie treat bag off with a printable teacher gift tag and send those kiddos off to school with a fun, no-hassle teacher gift!
