In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat together softened butter and sugars. Beat well until creamy.

Add vanilla extract and salt, stir well.

Gradually add cooled, sifted flour mixture, stirring until completely combined.

Stir in mini chocolate chips.

Scoop cookie dough into 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized balls and roll between your palms until smooth.

Place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes (I don't advise chilling longer than this as they will not take the cake pop sticks as well if they are chilled much longer).

While the dough chills, prepare a box or piece of styrafoam by making a tiny hole in your surface, check to be sure that a cake pop stick fits and will be supported once you add your cookie dough.

Once cookie dough balls have chilled, prepare melting wafers in a small bowl according to package instructions.

Dip one end of your cake pop stick about ½" into the melted dark chocolate, and then gently insert about halfway into a cookie dough ball.

Hold the stick and dip cookie dough into your bowl of melted dark chocolate. Drain off excess chocolate and then immediately add sprinkles. Place the stick into your prepared box or styrofoam to allow the chocolate to harden before storing or serving.

Enjoy!
