All you need is three simple ingredients to go from cream-filled sandwich cookies to the ultimate sweets on-a-stick. Roll the cookie pop mixture into balls to keep it simple, or flatten them slightly into pucks for bite-sized cakes. Then all that’s left to do is dip and dunk the pops in your choice of melted chocolate, pipe on a frosting border and douse ’em with sprinkles. For added pizzazz, insert a birthday candle on top. And in 30 minutes, you’ll be singing the good ol’ Happy Birthday tune with a handheld dessert that does double-duty as tabletop décor.

Ingredients
- 18 cream-filled sandwich cookies, such as Oreos
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- Assorted frostings, for decorating
- Assorted sprinkles, for decorating
- Candles, for decorating
Equipment:
- Food processor; Lollipop sticks
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the cookies until they are roughly crumbled. Add the cream cheese and continue pulsing until there are no large pieces of cookie remaining and the mixture is well combined.
- Using your hands, roll portions of the cookie mixture into 1-inch balls then flatten them slightly so they are puck-shaped. Insert a lollipop stick into each cookie pop then place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze the pops for 30 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave on 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval. Dip the cookie pops in the melted chocolate, shake off any excess, then top them with the sprinkles and return them to the baking sheet until the chocolate is set. Once set, pipe a frosting border around the edge then trim the candles and insert them into the top of each cookie pop.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge until ready to serve.

My daughter loved these and they were so easy to make!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Cathy!
the cream cheese was in the center not the frosting
Delicious Oreo twist on the regular birthday cake pop! So important: Any treat made with cream cheese must be stored refrigerated! Putting the pops on display for immediate consumption is fine but for longer periods it is not food safe. For mailing or for longer periods out of the fridge, frosting is safer.
I love that you made them into mini cakes, what a fun idea!
Holy moly these are cute. What a great idea! I’ve pinned it.
Thanks so much, Kerry!
