Variations and Substitutions

Cookie dough: Any soft baked sugar cookies can be used in this recipe. If you want to substitute frosted sugar cookies, consider decreasing the cream cheese by half. Then add in 1 oz. at a time until desired consistency. We used the Pillsbury sugar cookie tube, but the preportioned ones would work, too. 

White chocolate: Feel free to swap out the melted white chocolate with milk chocolate or dark chocolate. 

Other topping ideas: Make these cookie cake pops your own tasty creation by adding other toppings like Oreo crumbles, almond bark, lemon zest, coconut shavings, etc.
