These are NOT cake pops…


Cake pops are so yesterday. What’s today?

Cookie Ball Pops!

People keep telling me I need to make those trendy cake pops. But as fun as it is to follow a trend, you know what’s even more fun? Starting your own trend! And so today… Let’s start a new trend. I’m predicting it’s going to be huge.

After all, it’s cookie dough.

Joking aside, these things are awesome-delicious, super-fun, and mega-adorable. You should all run out right now to make them!

What are you still doing here?

Really, go!

Oh right, you need a recipe first.

Cookie Ball Pops

(Can be gluten-free!)

  • 1/3 c + 1/4 c flour (I adore these with oat flour! You can use white, or even spelt flour.)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda (not baking powder)
  • up to 1/3 c chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (do not omit or sub with white) (20g)
  • 1 tbsp plus 2 tsp white sugar (I omit, but I have no sweet tooth) (21g)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • optional: 1 tbsp vegan butter (12g) (You can omit, for fat-free balls)
  • 2 tbsp plus 2 tsp milk of choice, or more if needed (40g)

Mix your dry ingredients, then add in wet. Roll into balls, insert lollipop sticks (or any long object, really), and freeze. Or, feel free to not add sticks, and simply eat these as cookie balls.

(Each ball, without butter, will have 23 calories.)

Kinda reminds me of a flag.

Repeat after me: I pledge allegiance to the cookie dough…

    How do you store these? You said to freeze them, to get them to set, and then didn’t mention storage. Please let me know! If you already answered this in another comment, I’m sorry, but there were so many comments! I love your blog, and am so ready to make all your recipes! Thank you!

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      You can store them in the freezer as well :).

      1. Marsha says:

        Can you store them on the counter for a couple of days?

    These look cute. How many will the recipe make for 23 calories a ball?

    1. cck says:

      Hmmm… that’s really weird! This post is over a year old, and I don’t know why I didn’t write in how many it made. I just did some quick math and I *think* it would yield about 14 balls (including the white sugar) for 23 calories each.

    I absolutely love anything to do with sweets, love cake pops. Sweets is one thing I don’t include in my diet, which is bad. I like the idea that these are low calories so I can eat 5 and not feel bad:) You have a ton of great healthier recipes. Keep up the awesome work you truly are awesome at tweaking things and making them delicious.

    I just made a batch of this up using spelt flour and I changed the butter to coconut oil and left out the white sugar, and OMG it is so yum. It is going to be a challenge not to eat it all! I can’t wait for my new blender to arrive because I am dying to try the raspberry fudge cake!

    Hello!

    I have a question – it is possible to use oat flour without any thermal preparation? Is it OK for kids?
    And about the fats – can I use almond mousse?

    Thank you! Great blog by the way!

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Oat flour is fine to eat raw. Sorry, I’ve never heard of almond mousse!
