FAQs

What size scoop makes 1 inch balls? ›

For example, to get a 1-inch ball of cookie dough, try using a #60 scoop. It measures about 1 & 1/3 inches, so you'll be close to an inch in diameter after scooping and rolling the dough into a ball. To check the diameter of your cookie scoops, use a ruler to measure across the widest part.

That's right—just by looking at the way your dough sticks to the mixer you can tell whether you have too much flour, not enough flour, or too many eggs. In this case you can counter the imbalance straight away, adding more wet ingredients or more flour until you get the consistency you want.

When making medium-sized cookies, most bakers aim for approximately 2-tablespoon-sized mounds, so look for #20-36 sized cookie scoops. Going above or below is up to you, and also based on how much your cookie dough recipe usually spreads.

Small 1-inch scoop: Holds 1 teaspoon. Use these for making bite-sized cookies or truffles, as a melon baller, or fill a deviled egg. Medium 1 1/2 inch scoop: Holds 1 tablespoon. Ideal for classic chocolate chip cookies and mini cupcakes.

Popping your dough in the fridge allows the fats to cool. As a result, the cookies will expand more slowly, holding onto their texture. If you skip the chilling step, you're more likely to wind up with flat, sad disks instead of lovely, chewy cookies. Cookies made from chilled dough are also much more flavorful.

First, try adding more liquid to the dough. This can be milk, water, or even just a little bit of extra oil. If that doesn't work, you can try kneading the dough for a few minutes to help it come together. Lastly, if all else fails, you can always add in a few tablespoons of flour to help bind the dough together.

Knead the dough into a cohesive ball outside the mixer to prevent overmixing (which makes a tough cookie) 》Add just enough flour so it doesn't stick to your counter.

What does adding cornstarch do to cookie dough? ›

Cookies. Cornstarch does kind of incredible things to cookies. I mean not only does it give them soft centers, prevents them from spreading, and makes them somewhat thick (in a good way), but it also contributes to the chewiness factor, which, in my opinion, is the most important cookie attribute.

Press the dough into a cookie scoop and scoop it, flat-side down onto your cookie sheet. The flat portion keeps the dough in place and the rounded top bakes into perfectly circular cookies. . 2️⃣ Press some of the filling into the top of the dough before baking.

Too much flour causes the dough to become dry and crumbly, which prevents it from flattening out during baking. As a result, your cookies will stay in their original shape instead of spreading out into nice circles.
