Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup chocolate chips
Chocolate melts or candy coating for dipping
White icing for decorating
Lollipop sticks

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Cookie Dough: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, then gradually mix in the dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Insert a lollipop stick into each ball and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Decorate: Melt the chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl according to the package instructions. Dip each cookie pop into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place them upright in a styrofoam block or similar holder to set. Once the chocolate is set, use white icing to decorate with football stitches.
