Cookie Dough Cake Pops

You don't mind if we call these Cookie Dough Cake Pops Christmas cookies, do you?

I know the whole cake pop thing was so 2014 but bear with me on this one. Here's why you must bring Cookie Dough Cake Popsto your next party:

• Food on sticks is fun to eat. It is!
• Cookie dough is the best. Seriously, what is it about cookie dough that is SO good? Rolling it into a ball, skewering it on a stick, and covering it in chocolate and sprinkles only makes it easier and more glamorous to eat.
• Black and white sprinkles scream New Year's Eve. Shower them in red and green and they'll say Christmas party all over them.
• They're a pretty treat to bring to a birthday party. These ones were given to a friend for her birthday. (Hi, Tara!)
• Your people will love the not quite cake pop surprise when they bite into them.
• When going to a party (or hosting one!) I'm all for make-ahead recipes. This one you can make a few days ahead which makes party planning crazy easy.

Cookie Dough Cake Pops are totally where it's at. The egg free cookie dough is rolled into balls, dipped in dark chocolate and then covered with sprinkles. They're a fun and tasty treat for any holiday

15 cookie dough pops

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 cup butter (at room temperature – can be dairy-free)
• ▢ ½ cup granulated sugar
• ▢ ½ cup brown sugar
• ▢ 2 teaspoons vanilla
• ▢ 2 cups all-purpose flour (see notes)
• ▢ ½ teaspoon baking soda (see notes)
• ▢ ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ▢ ½ cup mini chocolate chips
• ▢ 12 ounces chocolate melting wafers
• ▢ 1 ½ teaspoons coconut oil (optional)
• ▢ Sprinkles (to decorate)

Instructions 

• Add the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl. Using electric beaters, beat until creamy, about 3 minutes.
  1 cup butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla
• Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
  2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon sea salt, ½ cup mini chocolate chips
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a medium-sized cookie scoop (1 ½ tablespoons) to divide the dough into 24 portions. Roll into balls and place them on the lined baking sheet. Put the baking sheet into your fridge for 15 minutes.
• Make the holder for the cake pops: An upside down colander works great if your cake pop sticks fit through the holes. Or, punch small holes into the top of a box.
• Melt the chocolate wafers in a small bowl for 30 seconds. Stir and then continue to microwave in 30-second intervals until they're completely melted. If the chocolate looks a bit thick, mix in the optional coconut oil.
  12 ounces chocolate melting wafers, 1 ½ teaspoons coconut oil
• Dip the end of a cake pop stick ¼ inch into the melted chocolate and then stick it into a cookie dough ball. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough balls.
• Working with one ball at a time, dip it into the chocolate, making sure that it is completely covered and letting any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
• Place the cookie dough cake pop into the holder you made and then immediately add sprinkles. Repeat with the remaining balls. Once the chocolate hardens, the cake pops are ready to eat!

Notes

If you're not comfortable eating raw flour, you may heat treat the flour before using it in this recipe. 

• Heat treat flour in the microwave: Put the flour into a bowl and microwave it in 30-second intervals until it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit – usually 2 minutes. 
• Heat treat flour in the oven: Spread the flour out on a baking sheet and bake it for 5 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Make sure to let the flour cool completely and break up any lumps that form in the cooking process before using it to make these cookie dough cake pops. 

*  The baking soda makes this taste just like real cookie dough.
