Sugar Cookie Dough Pops

My kids have been watching old episodes of The Next Great Baker and my middle child has been trying to come up with a recipe for us to try.  He decided we should make cake pops with cookie dough.  He even made a list of what we would need.

We didn’t have any cake pop sticks so we made do with toothpicks, but they would be fine with nothing either – they really aren’t that messy.

He originally wanted to ice them, but after mixing the icing in the cookie dough, we didn’t have any icing left (oops).  However, the sprinkles stuck just fine.

After my next great baker tried one and pronounced them delish, the rest of us tried them and then had another.  Mmmm!!

Sugar Cookie Dough Pops

Cookie Dough

1/4 C Butter, melted

1/4 C Oil

2 C Flour

3/4 C White Sugar

2 T Milk

1 t Vanilla

Dash of salt

Icing

2 C 10x Sugar

1/2 t Vanilla

2 T Milk plus more

Food coloring

Mix cookie dough ingredients together.  It should be crumbly and not like dough at all.  Mix the icing ingredients adjusting the amount of milk needed to give it a good thick consistency.  You should be able to stir it with a wooden spoon, but you don’t want it to be runny.  Mix the icing into the cookie dough.  Now it should resemble cookie dough.  If it’s too thick, add some more milk.  If it’s too runny, add a little more flour.  Roll the dough into balls and roll in sprinkles.  Put on a cookie tray.  Eat right away or chill loosely covered.  Enjoy!
