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!
I need to make these ASAP. Maybe dip them in chocolate?! 🙂
I WANT THIS FOR BREAKFAST!!!! Or at least on top of my breakfast. 😉
Maybe I will bring you some… and then I can have a meet up with you and Kelsey!
YAH!!!! 🙂 That would be SO much fun!!! Meeting you would absolutely be the best day EVER!
Right back at YOU!
You were right – I need my hands only to make these and very strong will to let them live until I share them with somebody else 🙂 I can probably make them for my colleagues in the university. I am sure they love your creation.
OMG YES! YES! YES! I’m already loving your new trend and you’re sooo right; it will become HUGE! I’m going to try these with both oat + spelt flour-I can’t decide because it all sounds too amazing!
Oooh if you have oat flour, try that first! I am in love with it… but is that surprising? I mean, it’s OATS! 😉
I had seen Allie’s cookie pops a few days ago and have seen similar things on other blogs, not “healthy living blogs” per se but more baking blogs, and non-foodbuzz sponsored blogs, just this whole other realm of blogs i didnt know about until about 6 mos ago…have seen lots of cookie/cake pops.
But no one has time to read everyone’s blog! Especially when you’re busy getting your images uploaded on FG. Saw your pancakes w/ the syrup drizzle on there when I got an email from them about a submission approval.
So happy that’s all better now for you 🙂
*drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooooooooooool*
Wow, Just like starbucks! but vegan 🙂
Um these look amazing. I might need to go out and buy brown sugar just to make them!! YUM.
Is the baking soda necessary? Thanks!
Oh my gosh, not a stupid question at all!
No, it’s not necessary as far as making the balls hold up. I just really think it adds something special to the flavor.
eeeek! i have EVERYTHING, EXCEPT chocolate chips! whyyyyy! i want to make these RIGHT NOW!
Hmmm… well, you could always add in raisins instead! Or just have oatmeal cookie balls!
