Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake Pop – The classic flavors of a chocolate chip cookies smashed into a mini cake pop. Made with a brown sugar frosting and chocolate chip cake, these moist cake pops are going to satisfy both kids and adults!
Back in my day (yup, I sound old), I went back to school in the second week of August and that was still early compared to the rest of the country. Sheesh.
I can’t say I am that upset because it just reminds me how close we are to fall. I can smell the pumpkin spice and apple cider already. Mmmm.

But let’s not get too ahead of ourselves…it’s still the beginning of August so let’s celebrate with a new cookie recipe, shall we?
As always, I share a new cookie recipe at the beginning of each month. Do you have a favorite yet? If I had to guess based on what get’s the most traffic, it is definitely these cookie bites, but these funfetti whoopie pies are creeping up each day.
Those two are definitely in my top three, along with these ice cream sandwiches. They’re made with cookies so they count as a cookie recipe, mmmkay?
Chocolate Cake Pops (starbucks Copycat)
For this month’s recipe, I also took some liberties with the definition of “cookie.” This recipe tastes like a a cookie and has cookie in the name, but it’s more like cake. Without further ado…drumroll please…
This recipe was inspired by a trip to a well-known coffee shop. They sell some incredible cake pops there, with the birthday cake being my all-time favorite.
But on this trip, I decided to give another flavor a chance. It was their cookie dough flavor. I am all about the cookie dough so I had high expectations for this treat.
Chocolate Keto Cake Pops
First, the outer coating was white chocolate, which was tinted light brown to look like cookie dough. Nice presentation, poor flavor. In my opinion, the coating HAD to be dark/semi-sweet chocolate to go along with traditional flavors of a chocolate chip cookie.
Second, the base of the cake pop did not taste like a cookie. I didn’t expect it to be the texture of a cookie, but at least it should have the flavor of one. Don’t worry guys – I made sure there was tons of brown sugar in my pop so there’d be no confusion about what flavor it was.
Before I get into the recipe, first let me explain how a cake pop is made. And no, it does not start with one of those cake pop machines.
The Easiest Halloween Cake Pops
To make a perfectly moist cake pop that holds up well, you need to mix cake crumbles and cake frosting together and roll it into balls. If you simply bake cake into the shape of a ball, it would be too light in texture to stay on a stick, let alone be coated in chocolate.
For the cake base, I used a vanilla cake made with brown sugar and chocolate chips scattered throughout. After cooling and crumbling the cake, I made a brown sugar frosting and added in the crumbles.
From there, all you gotta do next is roll the mixture into little balls, chill for an hour, and then assemble the cake pops. It’s really simple to do and a fun activity to do with the kids. Who doesn’t love rolling food into balls and dipping them into chocolate?!

Homemade Chocolate Cake Pops
STEP ONE: Begin making the chocolate cake. If using a box mix, follow the instructions on the box to make the cake. If making this recipe from scratch, follow the instructions here. Preheat the oven to 350°F and preparean8 inch round cake pan or 8x8 square baking pan.
STEP TWO: In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, salt, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder together. Mix in the egg, vanilla, and oil, then add the milk. Pour in the hot water and whisk until smooth. Bake for 20-26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
STEP THREE: Let the cake cool completely, then make the chocolate frosting. Mix butter and cocoa powder together in a large bowl, then slowly add vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and salt. Add milk if buttercream seems too thick.

STEP FOUR: Break and crumble the cooled chocolate cake into the bowl with the buttercream and use your hands or a standing mixer to mix it all together until the frosting is fully combined.
STEP FIVE: Form the mixture into 1 tablespoon - sized balls and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least two hours or freeze for about 1 hour.
STEP SIX: Once the cake pops have chilled, melt the chocolate candy melts or chocolate chips in a microwave-safe mug or liquid measuring cup or 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between intervals until melted fully. If using chocolate chips, you may need to thin out the chocolate with a little bit of oil.
Chocolate Dipped Cake Pops
STEP SEVEN: Dip the tip of one end of each cake pop stick into the chocolate then gently push it into one of the cake balls, not all the way through but further than halfway. Dip the cake pop into the cup of chocolate and turn it until it's fully coated, letting extra chocolate drip off. Dip in sprinkles if desired and place it in a styrofoam box or a large cup filled with rice or anything that would hold the sticks upright. Allow the chocolate to set for about 30-60 minutes.
Sure! I personally love to make my cakes from scratch, but this recipe works just as well with a boxed cake if you're short on time. Follow the instructions on the box for making the cake, then follow the rest of the instructions as written in this post.
Absolutely! Chocolate chips will be too thick when melted, so you'll need to thin out the chocolate before dipping. To do this, add a little bit of oil to the melted chocolate and stir. Add 1 tablespoon at a time until the chocolate is thin enough that a cake pop can easily be dipped, twirled, and pulled out without extra thickness and weight.

Yes! Instructions are outlined further up in this post, but I recommend using this vegan chocolate cake recipe, then using vegan butter and chocolate for the frosting and coating.
Yep! Simply use your favorite gluten free chocolate cake recipe (or gluten free box), then make sure that the remaining ingredients you use in the frosting and coating are gluten free as well.
