Sugar Cookie Cake Pops

My 10 year old has been asking for cake pops, so I decided to try a recipe I saw online.  These are easy to make and will probably disappear into boy tummies before I finish posting this recipe.

Ingredients:

1 13.5 ounce package frosted sugar cookies

2 ounces reduced fat cream cheese

1 cup candy melts

1 tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil

Sprinkles

Straws

Directions:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and cut plastic straws in half disposing of the movable end.
2. Add the cookies and cream cheese to a food processor.  Pulse until a smooth mixture breaking up cookies and scraping the sides as needed.
3. Use a medium cookie scooper to form balls.
4. Place cookie balls in rows on the baking sheet and stick a straw into each ball.
5. Freeze for 30 minutes.
6. Melt candy melts in a microwave safe bowl with coconut oil in 1 minute intervals at 50 percent power in the microwave.
7. Use the straw and a spoon to coat the cookie balls with the candy melts.  Add sprinkles as desired.
8. Place on parchment paper and refrigerate until set and ready to serve.
9. Enjoy!
