Can You Use Chocolate Chips For Cake Pop Coating

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.

Chocolate

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.

How To Make Cake Pops (easy And Fool Proof)

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?

Common Cake Pop Issues & Tutorial

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.

Simple Cake Pops Recipe

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.

Easy Chocolate Cake Balls (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?!

It’s hard to believe how far this website has come in the past three years, and I have every single one of you who is reading this today to thank for it.

So, sincerely, from the very bottom of my heart,  THANK YOU.  Thanks to you baking, photographing, writing, and videoing for Sugar Spun Run has become my full time job (!!!), and I am so, so grateful.

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.

Cake Ball Recipe (step By Step Tutorial)

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.

How To Make Cake Pops With Cake Mix

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 .
