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 don’t have measuring cups! 🙁 Could you give me the weight of the flour and the chocolate chips? Thank you 🙂
It’s about 70 grams. And just throw in a handful of chocolate chips. There’s no exact measurement for this; it’s how ever many YOU want :).
Did mine with Coconut flour (all I had) had to double the “milk” bc was too dry, but still YUMMY!!!
Katie! I made these and OMG they are delicious!!! I didnt bother to put them on sticks, though. They just went straight to my mouth :).
I tried this with whole wheat flour, regular skim milk, additional 2 tsp of unsweetened cocoa powder, and chocolate sprinkles instead of chocolate chips. It tasted like brownie batter! Didn’t bother to freeze it though. I just had to spoon in into my mouth right from the bowl on impulse. It smelt so good! After all it was supposed to be raw… right? Haha Anyway, it was DELICIOUS but too much salt for me though (no idea why) so I added extra sugar to balance it out! 😀
So glad you liked it! 🙂
Made these this morning! As chocolate chip funfetti cookie ball pops!! I may have had a few before they were “pop” and YUM!!!! I love how its the perfect size little treat!!!
So excited you made them! 🙂
Ok, confession… I skipped the “pops” and even the “balls” and just ate the batter right out of the bowl with a spoon!! 🙂 thanks for your awesome blog! I have made several of your recipes and plan to use some to demonstrate to my patients that they can have tummy desserts that are actually healthy and allow then to still stick to their nutrition goals! Thanks!!!
Haha you are so welcome! I usually just eat the dough too! And I make a huge batch of dough, squish it into cookie shapes (not cookie balls, but actual cookies) and freeze the leftovers to thaw later and eat more raw cookies :).
Leftovers? You are funny! 😛
**yummy not tummy… darn autotype… LOL
Ok. I’m 22, and still giggled like a middle schooler when I read “fat-free balls”.
That being said, these look delicious
Oh goodness, you’re gonna love my banana bon bons then. Unfortunately, I had to use the phrase” freeze your balls.” 😕
Katie-
You are a genius! I love your blog! It helps me get my kids to eat healthy food without them knowing, a very difficult task!! I’m thinking cookie dough balls for breakfast…totally amazeballs!!!
Awww Marissa, thank you so so much! 🙂
Such a great idea. I wanted to make something healthy to and i came up with protein cake pops. I omitted part of the cake batter and re placed it with whey protein. They came out really yummy! 🙂
