Cookie Dough Cake Pops on a dessert plate

Cookie Dough Cake Pops Recipe

Yield: 15 cookie dough pops
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
These eggless cookie dough cake pops are a marriage of childhood nostalgia and chocolatey fun. They take us back to childhood days spent sneaking spoonfuls from the mixing bowl. The only way to make cookie dough even better is to smother it in chocolate and deliver it to your mouth on a stick!

Ingredients

Instructions 

  • Add the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl. Using electric beaters, beat until creamy, about 3 minutes.

  • 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 cardboard 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.

  • 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

Where do I buy cake pop sticks? Check your local supermarket: they may be labeled as "treat sticks." You want some that are about 4 inches long. Otherwise, you can find cake pop sticks online.
If you're not comfortable eating raw flour, you can 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 on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 
Make sure to let the flour cool completely and break up any lumps that form during cooking before using it to make these cookie dough cake pops. 
*  The baking soda makes this taste just like real cookie dough.
