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…
The cookie-dough exclamation point !!! !!! !!! !!!

Hi Katie!
Thank you for the answer!
Here it is the mousse I wrote. Well, it is in German, but it is 100% almonds.

how are they 23 calories? how many do you get from a recipe??
Maybe it was already suggested, but why not melt some dark chocolate and dip them in that? My favorite part of the cake pop is the hard chocolate/white chocolate cover and the soft gooey cake inside 🙂
I made these tonight. Yum! I did oat flour, no fat or oil, and 1% dairy milk. Mine ended up so runny that it would have been impossible to make them into balls. I spread this on graham crackers instead. Still yummy. I did include the white sugar and it was very sweet. I’d omit it next time. I would also decrease the amount of chocolate chips.
Katie, how many do you intend this to serve? Like how many balls did you calculate to get the calorie count? Just trying to figure out how many calories I ate. Thanks!
Awesome idea 🙂 I made theses last night and on a random impulse dipped them in chocolate and then rolled them in coconut flakes. I love your blog and your recipes.although i do tend to stray alot 😛
I made these yesterday and while very good, I don’t think I made them right! Was I supposed to use 1/3c of flour PLUS 1/4c of flour, or 1/3c flour OR 1/4c flour? I used the “plus” approach and mine came out VERY sticky and couldn’t really form a ball. Also, I found that the recipe made about 16 balls each being 50 calories so I must’ve went wrong somewhere. I ended up popping them in the microwave for 2 minutes and they became pretty yummy puffs, but I wish I had cookie balls :/
hey i just LOVE your blog. i tried making these today, and did the same thing as brooke and got similar results (ended up being too sticky to make into balls), so instead i just got a spoon and ate the mixture. it was SOO GOOD! tasted just like cookie dough <3
i don't know if i'm doing something wrong, but i REALLY want to make cookie ball pops not just dough… but it tastes good regardless. thank you SOO much for posting soo many yummy recipes XD
How many balls does this make so that one is 23 calories?
Hi Katie! I love love this recipe. However, you said each ball has 23 calories. How many balls does the whole batch make?
I used white flour and about 2 tbsp choc chips. After calculating however, my whole batch came close to 700 calories!! I made 8 balls so that was close too 100 per ball. What am I doing wrong? If I used oat flour, it still wouldn’t be that much lower?
Hi Katie, just a quick question, how many of these does this recipe make? Thanks, love your recipes!
