How To Make Cake Pops (easy And Fool Proof)

Today I’m sharing these cookie dough pops as a token of my gratitude, and I think they’re a great choice for celebrating three years of cookie dough and sprinkles.

Cookie Dough Pops are similar to cake pops in their appearance, but they’re quite simple to make.  The first thing you’ll want to do is prepare your cookie dough, roll it into balls, and then chill it.

Chilling the dough is important so that the dough doesn’t melt when you dip it into your chocolate, but you don’t want the cookie dough to be

Cold, or it can cause the chocolate to crack as it sets (I discovered this issue when I made my Oreo balls!).

For dipping,  and to help the cookie dough adhere to it you should dip each stick just about half an inch into your melted chocolate before spearing your cookie dough.

I recommend using melting wafers (you can use regular chocolate or white chocolate!) for this recipe because the chocolate coats smoothly and solidifies quickly, but you still will need a place to set your cookie dough pops while the chocolate hardens.

Ideally you shouldn’t lay them down on wax paper or a cooling rack because they’ll end up with uneven sides or unattractive marks in the chocolate, so I recommend using a small box or piece of styrofoam and using a knife to make small holes over the surface and then standing your cake pops up in the prepared holes while the chocolate sets.

Do make sure that whatever you are using will actually support the cookie dough pops once you’ve added the heavy cookie dough to the end of the sticks!

The first time I did this, my shoebox refused to hold the pops and they all fell on top of each other, which was so frustrating, to say the least!!

Once more very important thing to note: while these cookie dough pops are made egg free, there have been E. coli outbreaks linked to consuming raw flour. Because of this, I recommend you heat treat your flour, and instructions for doing so can be found in my edible cookie dough post and more information can be found here .

Whatever cake you use, you can use a food processor to crumble the cake. If you don’t have a food processor you can also use your hands.

Your candy chocolate will have directions for melting. This is the step you really want to be careful with.  If you over-heat, then add some shortening to it. Turn your microwave setting down as low as possible and stir often in between heating. Let the heat of the candy melts continue to melt on their own before putting in the microwave again so you prevent overheating them.
