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 !!! !!! !!! !!!

Join me in welcoming this trend with open arms… or open mouths!
Well they sure are cute!!!
The exclamation point is my favorite!
KATIE YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! Ohmygosh I’d SO take cookie dough pops over cake ones ANYDAY!! As soon as I am better I am MAKING THESE!! 😀
I have cookie dough in my mind lately a lot, and these seem perfect for feeding that craving 🙂
These are so cute! I never understood the appeal of cake pops…but cookie pops? Totally genius!
Me neither! I mean, who would want just a bite of cake? But cookie dough balls are way more exciting. I’m on board for this trend for sure. And wouldn’t it be cool if they did make it all the way to Oprah? Or if Blake Lively invited you over to her house to make them like she did for Bakerella and the cake pops?
Oh wow, I just googled to find out about the Bakerella story you mentioned. That would pretty much be a dream. I can’t even imagine how she must have felt when Blake Lively contacted her!
SO CUTE!!
Cute! I think food on a stick is beginning to be a big trend. I made some all raw vegan cake pops in a challenge. It felt fun eating them on a stick. I will be doing more things like that I think.
These look great–such a fun idea! 🙂
Ohmahdear. So I’ve been looking for the perfect cookie to make for the new boy to show him that I can still be a baller cook and be healthy at the same time…and I think I just settled on this!
Ooo I hope he likes them!!
These glisten! I love bite sized treats. Yum;)
I tried the cake pops from Starbucks, and I didn’t really like them! They weren’t flavourful & just tasted….average. My palate isn’t set up for the generic unhealthy treats though, so I think these look DELICIOUS!!! I am going to make these. These CCK cake pops makes me dream of a cake pop bouquet of flowers! Cookie dough, birthday cake, dark chocolate covered cake pop, chocolate mint, chocolate mocha… my mouth is watering like Homer Simpson right now haha.
I saw those things… they were so small! They looked sad amidst the other yummy treats!
