Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (about 75g) crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) cream cheese, softened
  • 8 oz (227g) chocolate melting wafers or candy melts
  • Additional crushed cookies for garnish
  • Lollipop sticks or skewers

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
  4. Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl until fine crumbs form. Add softened cream cheese and crushed cookies, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Scoop out portions of the mixture and form into balls (about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter). Insert lollipop sticks into each ball and place on a parchment-lined tray. Chill for 15 minutes.
  6. Melt the chocolate wafers in the microwave or double boiler until smooth.
  7. Dip each cake pop into melted chocolate, coating completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip off and sprinkle with additional crushed cookies.
  8. Place dipped pops into a styrofoam block or stand to set. Allow to cool until chocolate hardens completely.
