Today is Ryker's last day of school until next year!
I'm excited for the break and so is he! I really
enjoy having him home and watching him
soak in the free time! :)
He wanted to bring a Christmas treat to school
for all of his classmates. I have personally
been wanting to try a treat that I saw on
this blog
back in October! Cookie dough pops!!
What a wonderful idea!
And with no eggs at all, it's OK to eat raw!
On a side note, I'd like to encourage you to use cuter
sprinkles than I did! When you live in Hawaii, it isn't
a rare occurrence for Wal-Mart to be "out" of things.
Unfortunately, on the day I needed cute sprinkles,
they were out. These ones were the only
sprinkles in the whole place!
What you'll need:
* 6 inch lollipop sticks
* A brick of almond bark
* CUTE sprinkles
* Cookie recipe and ingredients
* Wax paper
* Foam block
Ingredients:
2 1/4 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 c. (2 sticks) butter; softened
3/4 c. granulated sugar
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 c. milk
2 c. (12 oz pkg) semi sweet chocolate morsels.
Start by combining the flour, baking soda, and salt in a
small bowl. Mix it well and set it aside.
Now, in a large bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar
and vanilla. Beat until creamy and well mixed.
Add milk and mix well.
Gradually beat in flour mixture.
Stir in morsels.
Line cookie sheets with wax paper.
Roll balls of dough about an inch wide. Lay
them out on the wax paper.
Melt almond bark in the microwave.
Follow the instructions on the package.
Now dip your lollipop sticks into the almond bark and
then stick them into your cookie dough balls.
Freeze pops for 20 min.
Once the pops are firm, take out a few at
a time and start dipping them into the melted
almond bark. You may have to reheat it often.
The pops coat better when it's hot!
Tap them on the side of your bowl to remove
excess coating.
Quickly sprinkle with cute sprinkles!
Ryker was in charge of this part! He was in
sprinkle heaven! :)
Now poke the stick of your finished pop into
the foam block so it can harden.
Once the coating has dried, you can wrap
them with Cello wrap or tie them with a bow.
This just happened to be another thing Wal-Mart
was out of yesterday when I was picking
up supplies! No small, clear Cello bags! Sigh...
So they were put in these big "surfer santa" bags.
The extras will be going with Jake to work tomorrow!
Hope the ladies like sugar! :)
This recipe makes between 40 and 50 pops!
Enjoy!
