Dollhouse Shortcut

Use store bought vegan cookie dough instead of making your own.

Process the vegan butter, sugar, and vanilla in a food processor until smooth. If you don’t have a food processor , you can use a stand mixer or a handheld electric mixer, or just mix by hand.

Add 2 tablespoons of water. Continue mixing.

Mix the flour, arrowroot powder , baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Stick 9 lollipop sticks into 9 Amy's Minty candy bars (they come 3 squares in each package, so 3 candy bars equals 9 squares).

vegan cookie pops before wrapping in cookie dough

Wrap between 1 ½ and 2 ounces of cookie dough around each candy square. You want them to be similar in size to a golf ball. My cookie dough recipe makes 18 ounces of cookie dough, so you can make 9 cookie lollipops if you use 2 ounces of dough on each one.

vegan cookie dough balls the size of golf balls

Dip one side of the cookie dough lolli in vegan sprinkles and set onto the 3 parchment paper lined baking sheets (with the non-sprinkled side down). Make sure you leave a lot of space between each cookie because they spread out a lot. I only put 3 cookie pops on each baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes at 350°F (175°C).

Remove the cookie sheets from the oven, and leave the baked cookie pops on the baking sheets for a couple of minutes before transferring them to cooling rack.

If you’re feeling fun, you can tie bows around the sticks like I did.

You can also decorate them with christmas colored vegan sprinkles if you want christmas cookie pops for the holidays. These are perfect vegan christmas cookies to leave out for Santa. For other holiday cookie pops, use appropriate colored sprinkles for each occasion.

Frequently Asked Questions

For chocolate chip cookie pops, simply add 1/2 cup of mini vegan chocolate chips. You could regular sized chocolate chips, but they might not look as pretty, so I recommend minis.

  • Butter: My favorite is the organic whipped Earth Balance, but if you avoid soy, you can buy the soy-free Earth Balance.
  • Sugar: For the sugar in this recipe, you can use any number of sugars, as long as they’re vegan: sucanat, coconut sugar, raw sugar, organic sugar, or vegan sugar. If you’re not sure if your sugar is vegan, you can contact the company and ask, but basically, just avoid conventional white sugar or granulated sugar, and you should be ok.
  • Vanilla Extract: Vanilla flavoring, vanilla extract, and vanilla powder can be used interchangeably. Just make sure you add powdered vanilla with the dry ingredients and vanilla extract or flavor with the wet ingredients.
  • Flour: I use organic, unbleached, all-purpose flour because it’s a very good deal at Costco. However, you can use whatever flour you have. To make these cookies gluten-free, just replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Arrowroot: Arrowroot Powder, Arrowroot Flour, and Arrowroot Starch are the same thing, but with different names. You can also substitute corn starch using a 1:1 ratio replacement. I recommend using organic or non-GMO cornstarch if you do this.
  • Baking Powder: I use the non-aluminum baking powder, because I need all the brain cells I have left. Out of baking powder? Replace the ½ teaspoon baking powder in this recipe with a couple large pinches of baking soda.
  • Baking Soda: Out of baking soda? Replace the ½ teaspoon baking soda with an extra ½ tablespoon baking powder.
  • Amy’s Minty Bars: Since I created this recipe, Amy’s has stopped carrying their Amy's Minty candy bars in stores, and they only sell them at their drive-thrus now. So, instead of minty bars, I recommend looking through my list of vegan candy to find an alternative. Or, you can use Newman O's instead.
  • Lollipop Sticks: I know lollipop sticks aren’t an ingredient, but since they’re something you need to make edible cookie pops, I figured we should mention them. If you don’t have lollipop sticks, and you don’t want to purchase any, you can forgo the sticks altogether and make stuffed cookies instead. or if you have your heart set on cookie pops for dessert, you can use wooden popsicle sticks.
  • Vegan Sprinkles: I used I used Sweets & Treats jimmies and quins for this recipe, but you can look at my entire list of vegan sprinkles for other options.

I use mostly organic ingredients when I cook, but I realize that not everyone has the disposable income to purchase all organic ingredients. Therefore, I only specify organic on the ingredients that really matter - when buying the organic version is the only way to ensure that the item is vegan.
