Not only were my Fudge Brownie Pumpkin Cupcakes a huge hit at my bake sale last weekend, but these cookie dough pops were a big-seller as well.
I wanted to bring something fun, cute, and portable. And something involving cookie dough because… who can honestly resist that buttery raw chocolate chip dough?!
These guys are pretty straightforward.
Whip up a batch of cookie dough, roll into balls, pop in a stick, dunk in chocolate, and sprinkle. The cookie dough uses milk instead of eggs, so they are completely safe to eat.
The hardest part was choosing which sprinkles to use! I settled with chocolate, but I have big halloween sprinkle plans for these next month. 
There are a few secret tricks I learned while I was whipping these up.
First, roll the balls as big or small as you’d like. Mine were about 1.5 tablespoons of dough. Insert the popsicle stick while the dough is still at room temperature.
Next, make sure to freeze the cookie dough balls (while on sticks) before you dip them in chocolate. The cold frozen dough will meld to the popsicle stick AND make dipping them MUCH easier.
Also, to avoid getting the inevitable “flat top” from resting the dunked balls on your cookie sheet, I made sure to hold the sticks after I dipped them into the chocolate. I tapped off the excess chocolate, sprinkled them with sprinkles, and held the ball for about a minute until the chocolate was mostly set.
Some truffles didn’t get sticks. Those were for me.
With all of the bake sale preparations I did, it was nice to have an easy no-bake treat that I knew would be an instant success!

Makes 30 pops. Try writing different messages on the popsicle sticks for different occasions. These are such a fun gift idea.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- chocolate candy coating, for dipping
- 30 popsicle sticks
Instructions
- In a large bowl using an electric or stand mixer, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in milk and vanilla. Add flour and salt and mix on low until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Chill the dough in refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until firm enough to roll.
- Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Roll dough into balls, about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per ball. Insert popsicle stick into each ball. Freeze balls for at least 15 minutes on 1 cookie sheet.
- Melt candy coating following instructions on the package. Remove a couple of balls from the freezer at a time and dip into melted chocolate. Tap the stick against the bowl and let any excess chocolate fall off. Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles and allow chocolate to set on lined cookie sheet.
Notes
*Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week.

OMG I love cookie dough truffles. These are adorable on sticks!! LOVE IT.
Aimee @ ShugarySweets recently posted..Cookies ‘N Cream Cupcakes
Thanks Aimee darling! This was my first time making cookie dough truffles! I am hooked.
These are ridiculously cuuuute! And no doubt, delicious too!
Colleen @ What’s Baking in the Barbershop?! recently posted..Pumpkin, Peanut Butter, & Banana Quesadillas
yes! cute and delicious is what I was hoping for. Can’t go wrong with cookie dough am I right?!
You amaze me with all of your great ideas! How cute. And such a fun twist on the traditional cake pop or truffle. This would be great for a special event or around the holidays because you could write a personal message on the stick. Or get different colored sticks depending on the occasion!
Elaine recently posted..Greek Week
Elaine, I LOVE your idea to write different messages on the sticks! Like Merry Christmas or Happy Birthday! You are so creative!
I love eating cookie dough…but I’m pretty sure that eating cookie dough truffles on sticks trumps that!!! These are ridiculously cute!!! And I love your cute little packaging with your cards. Yup you are adorable!!!!
Jocelyn @BruCrew Life recently posted..Pumpkin Raisinets Muffin Tops
This was my first time making cookie dough truffles. I loved the portability of them on sticks. Eating stuff on sticks just seems so much more fun! Thanks Jocelyn!
These look divine, Sally! Is the chocolate have to be of the candy coating variety? It can’t just be melted semi-sweet chocolate? Thanks!
Ikhlas recently posted..Review: Such Wicked Intent
Hey Ikhlas! You can definitely use semi-sweet chocolate instead. I will update the recipe to include that option. Thank you so much!
Oh wow! These are genius!

Yum! I made these from Bakerella for my sister’s bridal shower as a favor, they were a huge hit! Can’t go wrong with raw cookie dough
Meghan @ After the Ivy League recently posted..Officially Responsible.
Yes, I agree! You can’t go wrong with cookie dough – on a stick! Glad you loved these like I did Meghan!
YOU are adorable and I LOVE these! I fell in love the second I saw ‘em and still love them now. You really can’t go wrong with cookie dough
and the sticks idea is too cute. No wonder they sold out; I would have bought the entire batch!
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel recently posted..The Friday Roundup!
Thanks Hayley. “you really can’t go wrong with cookie dough” … AGREED!!
People love cookie dough and anything on a stick and dipped in chocolate – you hit the trifecta of ‘successful elements’ all in one! They look amazing! I know that rolling out balls, bites, truffles, etc and then dipping them all is tedious and until one does it, they don’t quite realize so my hat is off to you for making these in bulk!! The recipe looks awesome and love the bite marks in the opening shot
Averie @ Averie Cooks recently posted..Thursday Things on Friday
When I was brainstorming recipe ideas, cookie dough came to mind first. I knew it would be a big hit! Oh and who doesn’t love food on a stick?! So much more fun to eat that way!
Those are so cute. There are few things in life that are better than cookie dough
Laura Dembowski recently posted..Blueberry Boy Bait
Haha Laura, I completely agree with you! Very few things indeed.
I seriously think I’ve died and gone to heaven! I could eat so many of these! Will definitely be making this for myself and for my little niece – she’s going to be so thrilled!
Chung-Ah | Damn Delicious recently posted..White Chocolate Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies
I love hearing that Chung-Ah! The little kiddies who bought these looked so happy. I think your niece would LOVE them!
I can confirm that these are AWESOME and were a huge hit at the bake sale! The Hillyer staff was so happy that you left us a few extras
Thanks Maggie!! These all happened because of you! I am available for any bake sales you organize in the future.
OMG! I didn’t make cookie dough recipes because I thought they were not safe to eat but. Now I know they are not!! Thanks a lot!
Anndy… exactly! There are no eggs in the recipe at all, so they are safe to eat! You don’t have to feel so guilty eating the forbidden dough now.
Mmm cookie dough on a stick??!! Yes, please!!
Ashley @ Wishes and Dishes recently posted..Cheesy Artichoke French Bread Pizza
These look amazing, but what stands out and screams “EAT ME” are the chocolate cup cakes with chocolate chip icing!!! Wow
THank you so much! Those cupcakes are one of my favorite cupcakes yet. The frosting is the best part
These look absolutely wonderful! I plan on making them with my children for their school’s bake sale. Is there any type of chocolate candy coating that you recommend or just use the traditional Wilton brand?
I do recommend the Wilton brand! These will be popular at your bake sale. Enjoy!!
OMG THESE LOOK AMAZING! I am going to make these for sure!! And I made the cupcakes and those were amazing! Thank you!

Liz (Little Bitty Bakes) recently posted..Espresso Toblerone Cookies
haha! well i plan to save my money and make all my loved ones christmas cookie dough truffles. Santa loves cookies, so it totally makes sense!
OMG, how did I miss these?? Even though my hubby doesn’t usually go for sweets, he LOVES cookie dough…and I am a sucker for anything on sticks. What a great idea! Love the labeling, too–such a cute idea for bake sales or parties!
i don’t think i’ve ever met a guy who doesn’t LOVE cookie dough lol! Or a girl for that matter
My friends and I all LOVE cookie dough (We’ve actually set a day where we’re going to make cookie dough just so that we can eat the dough). I made these almost right after you posted this recipe and it was so easy! They were really yummy too! I added mini white chocolate chips as well and dipped them in white chocolate instead and they turned out awesomely. I brought some to school for my friends everyday and it didn’t take long for them to get eaten at all!
Keep on baking <3
Nichole
nichole, what a fun day with your friends! a cookie dough eating day. wish I could join you! the white chocolate version of these sounds incredible, why didn’t i ever think of that? might have to try it
I’m a new reader of your blog, but can I start by saying that I love it! My obsession with baking started about a year ago, and I do it mainly because it generally makes me happy and there is no better mood I’m in that when I bake
This is the first recipe I’ve tried of yours and it was wonderful 
They went so fast though 
Can’t wait to continue trying all your wonderful recipes; keep up the great work!
Jazz, thank you so much for the comment! I’m a tad obsessed with baking too.
I’m glad you tried and loved those cookie dough pops! They were a big hit with my friends and the bake sale I went to. Let me know what else you try 
I so love cookie dough n cake batter! That’s something I can’t resist eating every time I bake. Others think Im crazy for eating raw batter. So I finally feel comforted that I’m not the only one! Cheers to this recipe ! I’m going to try it out! I’m sure it will be a hit!
I always have to “taste” the batter/dough and sometimes taste too much of it! Let me know how they turn out, thank you!
I love making these! I make them for parties and they are gone within 15 minutes! and my fiancee and his family love them. Delicious recipe.
I made these one weekend and took them back to school, and they were so good they almost didn’t make it back. My roommate and I finished them off in about three days!
Hi Faith! I know that I, for one, can not be trusted around these cookie dough pops! You and your roomie had a delicious few days it sounds like.
Happy New Year!
Sally
Thanks so much for a great simple recipe:
I made these truffles this weekend for my best friend and she absolutely loved them

So glad you love them! Yours look incredible. You’re reminding me to make a batch as soon as I can.
Is it ok if I add peanut butter to the cookie dough in the cookie dough truffles
I would add more flour if adding peanut butter. I’ve never tried this before, so I’m not sure of the particular amounts of either. If you choose to add 1/2 cup of peanut butter, just add more flour until the dough is thick and not so sticky.
I made these to bring to work today, I couldnt help but taste them and they are DELICIOUS. I made a double batch because I started with one and only got 24 out of it (may or may not be the taste testers faults…) I covered some in white chocolate and some with semi-sweet chocolate (both chocolates had some without sprinkles and some with.. Bright colors.. blue green orange and yellow, looks GREAT) I also covered some in powdered sugar, and some in PEANUT BUTTER. I put the peanut butter ones back in the freezer to help them set better. And I made a special peanut butter & chocolate one for myself for later.
I put them in little treat bags I had left over from the last time I gave out cookies and they all look super cute. Great recipe and its so easy and basically foolproof. Thanks again Sally
Hey Alisha! Wow! Your cookie dough truffles sounds amazing. I love that you used bright colors too! And covering them in peanut butter – amazing Alisha!! That’s a must try! You are so sweet to put them in treat bags and hand them out to your coworkers. When I bring treats into work, I just plop it all onto a plate! But I sold these at a baking sale, and I did love how cute they look wrapped up!
Well, update. I took them and they were pretty much devoured. A few of my coworkers took some home for their kids, which has apparently made their kids love me. Everyone loves cookie dough
Kids LOVE these! When I brought them to the bake sale, they were my #1 customer for them!
Hi Sally, love your cookie dough recipes and I am having trouble with the cookie dough truffles. The first time I made them they came out perfect. I have attempted to make these 2 more times and my dough isn’t able to form balls. All I get is crumbled cookie dough which is still delicious but I am not able to give those out. I do cook the flour for 5 minutes to avoid any illness. Can you help me figure out what I am doing wrong?
Thanks so much in advance. Also, I have a son who has a peanut allergy so when you do peanut recipes can you offer an alternate for the peanut butter. Never sure what to substitute.
Thanks
Lisa
Hi Lisa – an alternate ingredient for PB is sunflower seed butter. Or any other nut butter besides peanut. What did you do differently the second and third time? I’m concerned since you made these successfully once and then did not have success again. Something must have changed?
Hi Sally, I can’t figure out what I did different. I did cook the flour all 3 times but I think the last 2 times I might not have let it cooled enough. I am going to try without baking the flour next time. Even the mistakes are tasty just not presentable. Thanks for all your great recipes. My husband loves your choc chip cookie recipe!! Take care, Lisa
Hey again Lisa! I would try it without cooking the flour next time. That’s how I always make them. Love those choc chips cookies too!
My friend made these but used crushed butterfingers instead of choc chips…then she dipped half in peanut butter chips and the other half in chocolate…they were so yummy! I know you love peanut butter so I thought I would share
