These No-Bake Cake Pops are the perfect easy treat! Made with just sugar cookies, cream cheese, and melted chocolate, they’re creamy, sweet, and fun to decorate. Perfect for parties, gifts, or a quick dessert—these cake pops are sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike!

Ingredients

12 sugar cookies (store-bought or homemade)
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
1 cup white chocolate chips (or pink, or dyed chocolate)
Sprinkles (for decorating)
Cake pop sticks or straws

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Mixture
In a large bowl, crush the sugar cookies into fine crumbs. Add the softened cream cheese and mix until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.

Step 2: Shape the Cake Pops
Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Insert a cake pop stick or straw into the center of each ball. Place the cake pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3: Chill
Refrigerate the cake pops for 10-15 minutes to firm them up.

Step 4: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Add food coloring if desired.

Step 5: Dip and Decorate
Dip each chilled cake pop into the melted chocolate, tapping off any excess. Immediately sprinkle with your favorite sprinkles or decorations.

Step 6: Chill Again
Place the decorated cake pops back on the parchment paper and refrigerate for another 10 minutes to set the chocolate.

Tips for the Best No-Bake Cake Pops

Use room temperature cream cheese. This makes it easier to mix with the cookie crumbs.
Crush the cookies finely. This ensures a smooth texture for the cake pops.
Customize the chocolate. Use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or colored candy melts for variety.

Add flavor extracts. Mix in ½ tsp of vanilla, almond, or lemon extract for extra flavor.

Variations

Chocolate Cookie Cake Pops
Use chocolate cookies instead of sugar cookies for a rich, chocolatey version.

Peanut Butter Cake Pops
Add ¼ cup peanut butter to the cookie mixture for a nutty twist.

Holiday-Themed Cake Pops
Use festive sprinkles or colored chocolate to match the occasion (e.g., red and green for Christmas, pastels for Easter).

How to Store These Cake Pops

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
