Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Cake Pops.
Step 1
Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to create a non-stick surface for your delicious cake pops.
Step 2
In a stand mixer, combine your soft sugar cookies with softened cream cheese.
Step 3
Mix them together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency that’s well blended—this is where the magic begins! Next, take the mixture and shape it into twenty-four delightful balls, each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Step 4
Place these little treats on your prepared baking sheet and gently insert a lollipop stick into each one.
Step 5
Now, pop the baking sheet into the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to let the cake pops chill and firm up a bit.
Step 6
While they’re cooling, it’s time to melt some white candy melts.
Step 7
Set them in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula to keep everything smooth and prevent any scorching.
Step 8
This should take around 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 9
Once your cake pops have chilled, take them out of the fridge and dip each one into the melted candy coating, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 10
Return the coated pops to the lined baking sheet and sprinkle them generously with colorful candy sprinkles while the coating is still wet.
Step 11
This is the fun part—watch your cake pops transform into festive treats! Finally, let them sit for about 10 minutes until the coating has completely set.
Step 12
Enjoy the delightful process of creating these sweet treats, and get ready to share them with friends and family!.
