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

    There is nothing left to say but YUM! And Katie, I am obsessed with your cookie dough boatmeal! I have no self-control when I make it!

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Aw hehe I NEVER have self-control when it comes to chocolate… even if I’m not hungry!

  2. kaila @ healthy helper! says:

    Awesome Katie! Another 10 out of 10 recipe!!!

  3. Tara says:

    I was just recently thinking how someone needs to make a healthy cake pop (haha I accidently wrote poop.. I’m so immature), but cookie pops are even more fun! Plus this can be a single lady recipe or shared with friends! I want to make a chocolate cookie or oatmeal cookie one. Or a sugar cookie one. The possiblities are endless!

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      I think snickerdoodle is next on my list to try!
      And lol your immaturity made me laugh ;).

  4. Kristie says:

    HECK YES these look just wonderful. Cake pops are adorable but cookie ball pops got a whole new thang goin on. Especially since cookie dough is just da bomb. Obviously. Yet another winner recipe into my ‘To Make’ folder… it’s getting quite ‘beefy’!

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      hahaha beefy, full of veg-friendly recipes… tofu-y? 🙂

  5. Aja says:

    I need to make these. I think I have to get up early tomorrow before school to make them. They look amazing. I absolutely love your Not Guilty cookies, and so does my boyfriend which is amazing because I didn’t think he’d like anything that wasn’t full of fat and sugar. Seriously, they’re better than a full fat, full sugar chocolate chip cookie. You’re a genius!

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Awww lol I cannot tell you how happy that made me. I even shared your sweet comment with my sister and mom :).

  6. Jonna says:

    So, is it raw spelt flour? Raw oatflour? with baking soda? Do you bake them in the oven? Can you eat unbaked-baking soda?

    Im just curious :)) They looks devilishly delicious!

    great blog 🙂

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Nope, no baking needed! And yeah, you can eat the baking soda raw. It’s perfectly safe. In fact, a good remedy for an upset tummy is to mix baking soda with water :).

  7. Amie Sue says:

    These are very cute. Last week I made some out of my “raw” peanut butter cookie batter and then dipped them in raw chocolate. Heaven!! They are sure fun to make aren’t they?
    Blessings, amie sue

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Definitely fun! But when is chocolate not fun, right? 😉

  8. alyssa says:

    katie what do you use to analyze your nutritional information??

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      I don’t use any software; I add up all the ingredients, then divide by the # of servings. I’m good at math lol (I’m a proud nerd!). If you ever need an explanation as to how I arrived at a certain count, just ask.

      1. Julia Smith says:

        How many cookie dough balls is the information for? 🙂

  9. Misadventures of Fat-free Baking says:

    OH MY GOD! YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!!!!!!! I’m in HEAVEN!!! YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!!!!!!! YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!!!!!!!

    Sorry for spamming…

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Spamming? Haha no you are adorable!! 🙂

    Hi Katie,

    I noticed that all your receipes include nondairy milk and was wondering if your recipes will work the same with normal skim milk? I wasn’t sure if that was just a vegan recipe, or if therer is a significant difference in texture or they way they will turn out!

    Please let me know!

    Thank you! Love your blog! Makes me want a cookie so bad! 🙂

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Hey Jane!
      Haha yes, I just write “nondairy” milk because I’m a vegan. Skim milk should work fine in all recipes calling for non-dairy (unless it specifically states “coconut milk”).
      Well, actually I don’t know about the recipes with agar, because I don’t know how the skim milk would react with the agar. But all the other recipes should be fine with skim milk!

      1. Jane says:

        Awesome! Thanks!! I am excited to try it out! Yummy!
