Here we are – another Friday and more Pops!
This time, I made Lofthouse Sugar Cookie Pops.
Like, the Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Pops, these don’t require you to bake ahead of time.
Of course, you can always make a batch of fresh cookies yourself!
You can use any flavor of cookie and frosting to create your own flavors.
My grocery store carries seasonal flavors that are fun to play with. I’ve made these before with Strawberry Cookies and lemon extract and frosting for a fun combination.
To make these you will need:
10 Loft House Sugar Cookies (-1 to taste test)
2 tsp Extract
1 Tbls Frosting
12 Lollipop sticks
6 bendy straws
6 White Chips
Yellow and White Candy Melts
Taste test one of the cookies to ensure freshness and maximum yumminess!
Break up the cookies and sacrifice them to the food processor.
It’ll take a few pulses to break up the cookies into a fine crumble.
To that, add the frosting and the extract.
I used 2 teaspoons of Raspberry extract, but I could not taste it in the finished product.
I used vanilla frosting. I wish I had strawberry frosting and skipped the raspberry extract.
Oh well, they were still good!
It should take a few more pulses on the get the frosting mixed in. It’ll look like it’s still crumbly, but if you press it between your fingers and it holds, it’s ready to form.
I used my larger scoop and made 12 pops.
I made 6 glasses of lemonade by shaping a oblong rectangle shape; 3 oval shapes for lemons; 3 rounded triangular shapes as the lemon wedges. I popped them into the fridge while I melted my candy.
Remember, low power setting in the microwave. Use 70% power for 30 second intervals and stir, stir, stir.
***Also, with the temperature and humidity going up, turn your AC on or work with a fan on. The humidity will cause your candy to thicken on you.
I attached the sticks to the shapes with the melted candy.
Then, I dipped the glasses and set them aside to dry.
After a few minutes, I dipped the tops into white candy and inserted the straw piece.
To make the lemon ends, I attached white chips with candy and allowed it to dry.
Then dip the pop.
Here’s my lemon wedge prior to dipping. I loved the inside color of the pop!
Once the candy was dry, I used a toothpick to add a white rind and used a fork prong to make the groves in the lemon wedge.
Easy… Peasy!
These would be great to make for your summer lemonade stand or summer party.

Gosh, you've out-done yourself this time! Adorable!! I wouldn't have thought to use those cookies, great idea. I eat those by the handful myself, they are so addicting.
They are good! Which is why you MUST taste test one before you pulverize them up!
How genius to use the sugar cookies! And these pops are so fabulous!
These are so adorable I can't stand it. The lemon shapes are perfect and genius to use the cookies.
Thank you. I never know if it's "enough" sometimes.
Fantastic idea. I would have never thought to use store bought sugar cookies and little Debbie cakes for a cake pop base. You're a genius!!! I want to go on a scavenger hunt at the grocery store now to see what I can come up with. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
There are so many fun ideas. Look around and think of fun things. The good part is they are not too much money and you won't waist too much time if you don't like it. Thanks for stopping by.
These are so cool. Great work.
These are absolutely amazing looking! Of course I had to pin them!
Thanks so much for the pin. It's always appreciated. Glad you stopped by 🙂
These are too cute! So clever to use the cookies! I love the shortcuts!! 🙂
Stopping by from Mix It Up Monday!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Shortcuts are the only way I ever get anything done 🙂
This is a really great idea!
OMG I am going to pick up some cookies when we go shopping next, I have been passing them buy thinking I would just eat them all. This gives me the chance to eat one and play with the rest. If I can eat only one.
I admit, sometimes I buy something for the blog, and end up eating it before I get a chance to bake with it… It's a hazard to having a baking blog I guess. Thanks for popping over.
I WANT SOME!!! That looks sooooo good! I always found lemons to be refreshing!

What a great idea to use the lofthouse cookies…although my hubby would be very unhappy if I did that to his favorite cookies! I love the glass of lemonade with the straw…so cute!!!
Amazing! Who would have thought to use those sugar cookies? I love lemon and can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks so much for stopping by Creative Thursday last week. I couldn’t do these parties without you. Can’t wait to see what you link up this week. Have a great week.
