Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon mint extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk
- 1 cup (120g) heat-treated all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips
- Chocolate candy melts (milk, dark, or white)
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Heat-treat the flour by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add mint extract, salt, and milk. Mix until combined.
- Gradually add heat-treated flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Stir in mini chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough, then roll each portion into a ball. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and insert a cake pop stick into each one. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Heat the chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
- Dip each chilled cookie dough ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Tap off excess chocolate and place the pops back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- If desired, sprinkle your pops with festive sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Let the cake pops set in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving.
