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

    Hi Katie! This looks delicious. I know you said they don’t NEED to be baked, but can they be? Would they turn out like proper cookies if they were baked, or does the recipe only suit for freezing? Just curious 🙂
    Thanks!

    I made these last night, put them in the freezer, and ate them all today! They were so good!! I substituted half of the flour for oats, omitted the butter/oil, and used half chocolate chips, half raisins. They were absolutely delicious and were even better than store bought “everything” cookie dough I tried one time. Thank you so much for the wonderful fun recipe!! 🙂

    I think I’m going to makeep this but skip the sticks and rolling it and just eat it straight out of the mixing bowl. 

    How do you store these? I’m helping a local cafe find a healthy cookie recipe and they need to know how they are best stored and how long they last in storage… ps. I love your site

  8. Ciera says:

    Yum…. Do you think it would work to put this in frozen yogurt for cookie dough froyo?

    1. Chocolate Covered Katie says:

      I don’t see why not.

  9. Winter says:

    I noticed that it has baking soda, is that safe to eat uncooked?

    1. Unofficial CCK Helper says:

      Yes.

    Hi Katie! I absolutely love your website but I’m a little confused. How many of the cookie balls did you make? when i calculated the calories i didn’t come up with 23 for each when following the healthy chocolate chip cookie recipe that said it would yield 7 to 11 cookies
