Easy Vegan Cookie Dough Pops (Edible Cookie Dough!)
These Vegan Cookie Dough Pops are the perfect treat for any occasion! Balls of cookie dough dipped in melted semi-sweet chocolate and covered in sprinkles.
Servings 10 pops
Ingredients
Dough Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp vegan butter softened, NOT melted (I used Earth Balance)
- ½ cup organic brown sugar packed
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp unsweetened applesauce
- 1 pinch sea salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose unbleached flour spooned and leveled
- 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
Remaining Ingredients:
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
- vegan sprinkles
- 10 candy sticks optional
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened vegan butter and brown sugar on a high speed until it appears whipped (about 1½ minutes). I used a standing mixer, but you can also use a hand mixer as well.
- Add in the unsweetened applesauce, pinch of sea salt, vanilla extract and flour. Mix to combine.
- Batter will be crumbly. To form dough, add in unsweetened almond milk and continue to mix.
- Melt the chocolate using the double boiler method or in the microwave (details described above in blog post).
- Using a 1½ tbsp cookie scoop, scoop out even portions of the dough and roll into a ball. Transfer each of them to an appropriately sized dish for the fridge lined with parchment paper.
- If using candy sticks, dip each of them ½ inch down into the melted chocolate, then insert the sticks into each of the cookie dough balls. Transfer to the fridge for 30 minutes to allow them to harden.
- While the dough is chilling, place your sprinkles in a small dipping bowl (amount will depend on the coverage you want your pops to have).
- Once the dough is finished chilling, remove them from the fridge. Dip each pop in the melted chocolate (use a spoon to assist if desired), then into the bowl with sprinkles. Rotate the pop to get the desired amount of coverage.
- Transfer each of the covered pops back to the dish lined with parchment paper and repeat process until all of them have been covered.
- Place the dish with the covered pops back in the fridge to chill for 1 hour or until the chocolate has hardened.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Don't have any candy sticks? Alternatively you can use a fork to dip each of the cookie dough balls into the melted chocolate and sprinkles. Use a spoon to help release the fork from each of the dipped cookie balls.
- Concerned about eating raw flour? Simply microwave it for 1 minute and 15 seconds until it reaches 160° to kill any harmful bacteria.
