Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety)
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) whole milk or dairy-free milk like almond
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup (90g) mini white chocolate chips
  • Green gel food coloring
  • Wax paper or parchment paper (for assembly)
  • 10–12 lollipop sticks or sturdy wooden sticks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 1 cup (125g) of all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to heat-treat. Let cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup (115g) softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Mix in 2 tablespoons (30ml) whole milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract.
  4. Add a few drops of green gel food coloring and mix until the dough is bright mint green.
  5. Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Fold in 1/2 cup (90g) mini white chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Insert a lollipop stick halfway into each ball, pressing gently to secure.
  8. Refrigerate the cookie dough pops for at least 1 hour until firm.
  9. Serve chilled or store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Heat-treat flour to make the cookie dough safe to eat raw. Use gel food coloring to avoid watering down the dough. Chill dough pops for at least 1 hour to firm up. If dough is too soft, chill longer before shaping. Optional variations include swapping white chocolate chips for dark chocolate, using dairy-free ingredients for vegan version, or almond flour for gluten-free. For extra fun, dip pops in melted chocolate after chilling.
