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 honestly never understood the facination of eating raw cookie dough. Couple of my friends go sick eating raw cookie dough, but good luck with your venture, Katie. My husband took some cake balls I made last night to his office and they were a huge, I mean, huge hit with everyone there. So for those of you on here that think cake pops or balls will die, think again.
I made these the fat free way (sans margarine). Two things to note: 1. without the margarine, they are very liquidy, so I am eating mine with a spoon. ;-p 2. Do NOT add the white sugar- I made mine with the brown sugar and they were MORE than sweet enough.
Hey! These look GREAT!! I was just wondering though, when you said you love them with oat flour, is that just oats ground up? I hope so, because I can’t have wheat anything and I SOO want to make these!!!
Yes, oat flour is just ground-up oats (very finely ground). But if you use oats, you’ll have to measure the amount AFTER blending. (In other words, don’t use 1/2 cup oats if it says “1/2 cup oat flour.” You’ll need to use more oats.)
Fantasic!! I am SOO looking forward to making these!! They are SO cute and I KNOW they will be great!
how long do you freeze???
There’s not really a set time. I just leave them in the freezer; that way they keep for weeks :).
Hi Katie! Omg! This look sooooooo delicious! I love cookie dough A LOT, so I’m definitely making these ASAP! Thanks so much for this recipe! 🙂
New to your blog, discovered you from skinnytaste, I was just wondering, how many balls do you make for the 23 calories? I sure discovered a lot of new yummy sounding recipes looking for the answer though!
Oh wow, I can’t believe I never wrote that in. I am so sorry!
Unfortunately, I don’t really remember how many I got (I made them back in May). I’m editing the recipe to take down the nutrition link. Sorry for the confusion… I guess it gives me an excuse to make them again ;).
I made these using rolled oats instead. I really don’t like the idea of eating raw dough that’s made with flour. It makes me gag eating unbaked flour. They tasted great using the rolled oats!
YESSS!!! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for and I didn’t even know it 🙂
Update:
Just made this (since it’s the quickest recipe of life LOL) and it’s AMAZING!! I didn’t even bother making the balls, I’m just eating it out of a cup LOL…I made it with the oat flour as you suggested (YUM!) and I partially ground my chocolate chunks to make sure each bite was super chocolatey AND to amp up the already great flavor, I ground up some walnuts and mixed those in too…fantastic…easy…everything is already in my pantry…this makes my tummy VERY happy…lol
