Cake Pops

Ingredients

3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup candy-coated milk chocolate pieces or chocolate chips.
20 lollipop sticks
Directions

In a large bowl, cream together white sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Add vanilla and eggs; mix well. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into butter mixture. Finally, mix in rolled oats. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Roll dough into 2 inch balls. Place balls on a cookie sheet, Press down slightly, and insert a lollypop stick into each one. These will spread a bit so don 't put too many to a pan. Bake 8 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool completely. The cookies will be chewy, but firm.

After cookies are cooled make the following and dip the cookies either completely or part way. I usually dip them in dark or milk chocolate and then use white chocolate to decorate them. Dipping the cookies in chocolate makes the cookies look so much better. Never annot get enough chocolate!!!!

1 (12) oz. Chocolate chips
1 Tbs. Shortening

Melt chips in double boiler or small sauce pan on lower heat. Mix in shortening as they melt. Dip cookies somewhat rapidly as the chocolate will begin to firm back up. If this happens, I usually just microwave the chocolate for a few seconds.
