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

    These look great! Am I the only immature person that laughed when you said ‘insert any long object?’ Hahaha!

      Oh. my. word. How on earth did I miss that when I wrote it? LOL!

    2. Katy says:

      Um… I laughed at “fat-free balls”. So no, you’re not the only one!

  2. Lisa says:

    those are so cute! I saw cake pops in Starbucks the other day, which reminds me of these! 🙂

  3. Emily says:

    Omg YUM! Anything cookie dough is awesome in my book. And it doesn’t hurt that they’re super cute!

  4. Veggie Cate says:

    I love this new trend! So much better than that uggs and skirts trend ;). You seem to start a LOT of foodie trends, Katie. Pizzerts, fudge babies, coconut butter! You certainly got ME hooked on all these things!

    Allie at livelaugheat.com made cookie pops about a week ago… she covered hers in chocolate too, I bet you’d love them!!!!

  6. Tiff @ Love, Sweat & Beers says:

    Delish! Cookie dough in any form works for me.

  7. Hela says:

    hahaha, love the flag 😀
    and you know what, I made the chocolate chip pancakes today, though I didn´t add any chocolate chips 😉 Instead, I added mashed banana and blueberries to the first batch, and… wait for it… they tasted awesome… LIME JUICE and POPPY SEEDS to the second batch!! Yes, you heard me!!! Utterly delicious!!!

    I love your raw cake pops idea! Totally trying for my best friend’s birthday.

    1. Sarah C. says:

      This is genius! I want them for my birthday instead of cake! And forget cake POPS. Cookie pops are way more fun!

  9. Sarah C. says:

    Oh sorry haha. I didn’t mean for that to be a reply to someone else’s comment.

    ‘Pops’ are EVERYWHERE! I love this trend and I think it’s super cute 🙂 Such a non-messy way of eating something.
