Cookie Dough Cake Pops Recipe
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
- 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.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until combined. Stir in the 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 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
- If you're not comfortable eating raw flour, you may heat treat the flour before using it in this recipe.
- 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.
- 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.
