Cookie Dough Pops

So the hot new item these days are "cake pops", yah........ I haven't tried to make them yet because I'm still old fashion--I like to stick to the same old cookies and cupcakes!  However, I thought, I love the looks of the cake pops, so instead why not make cookie dough pops?  With Valentine's Day coming up, these would be a huge hit and they are so YUMMY!!!  All I did was take one of my cookie dough recipes and tweaked it--very easy!!!  I thought I would share it with you-Enjoy!

1 cup all purpose flour

1/4 tsp of salt

  (mix dry ingredients in a small bowl and put aside)

1 stick VERY soft unsalted butter

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used the mini ones)

Colored candy melts

Beat wet ingredients together until creamy in a larger bowl.  Slowly add flour mixture until smooth.  Stir in chocolate chips.  If your mix seems dry, you might need to add 1-2 tbsp of water (I had to).  I used my 2 tsp cookie scoop to make the balls.  Roll them around in your hands.  Lay them on a wax paper lined cookie sheet.  I got about 32 cookie balls out of it.  Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 30 min or until very firm.  Melt candy melts according to the package-put in bowl.  Using a fork, place the cookie dough ball in the candy coating and let the access drip off before placing back onto the wax paper.  To drizzle, melt some different candies and put in a zip baggie.  Cut a TINY corner off and drizzle back and forth!! 

I put mine in the fridge to store in a airtight container!
