Ingredients
Cookie Pops
- 12 pieces chocolate sandwich cookies
- 12 pieces lollipop sticks
Coating
- 1 cup purple candy melts
Garnish
- 2 tbsp orange and black sprinkles
Why this recipe works
The method of using lollipop sticks provides structural integrity to the cookies, allowing them to be dipped and decorated without falling apart. By inserting the sticks into the cream center, the cookie remains intact while becoming a convenient, handheld treat that is easy to serve at parties.
Melting the candy coating until it reaches a thin, pourable consistency ensures an even, smooth finish on the cookies.
The immediate application of sprinkles while the candy is still wet is the secret to getting them to adhere perfectly, creating a professional-looking texture and appearance that elevates the final presentation of the pops.
Notes and substitutions
For the best results, use high-quality candy melts or good-quality white chocolate. If the candy seems too thick after melting, a small amount of vegetable oil can be stirred in to thin it out slightly, which helps create a smoother, more even coating on the cookies.
When it comes to equipment, a parchment-lined baking sheet is essential for preventing the cookies from sticking as the candy hardens. If you do not have lollipop sticks, sturdy paper straws or even wooden skewers with the sharp ends trimmed off can serve as suitable alternatives for holding the cookies.
