Got the Scoop??

Not many are talking about the plenty of cookie scoop sizes.
There are a PLENTY of them! And some have zero indications of what size they are on their product, so you'll know or can easily recall their size in the midst of your scooping & baking.

Some manufacturers promote theirs by the scoop's diameter, and some don't.
You may have several scoops from different manufacturers and different sizes.

Here's your info to understanding which to use/buy or how to explain your recipe requirements to someone.

​Cookie scoop sizes do follow a standard, but it’s not based on inches… it’s based on the number stamped on the scoop, which refers to how many scoops fit into one quart of liquid.

How Cookie Scoop Numbers Work

• A scoop marked #20 means 20 scoops per quart.
• A scoop marked #60 means 60 smaller scoops per quart.
• The higher the number → the smaller the scoop.
• The lower the number → the bigger the scoop.

Common Cookie Scoop Sizes (Standard Across Baking Brands) 

#20      3 Tbsp             ~1.5 oz          Large bakery cookies
#24      2.66 Tbsp       ~1.33 oz        Standard large cookies
#30      2 Tbsp            ~1 oz              Classic homemade cookies
#40      1.5 Tbsp         ~0.8 oz          Small/medium cookies
#50      1.25 Tbsp      ~0.5–0.6 oz    Small cookies
#60      1 Tbsp           ~0.5 oz            Mini cookies 

Most Used for Cookies

• #20 or #24 → big, thick bakery-style cookies
• #30 or #40 → standard home-baked cookies
• #60 → minis

Tip:  If you weigh your dough:

• A #20 scoop produces ~1.5 oz (42–45g) dough balls.
• A #24 scoop produces ~1.33 oz (37–40g).
• A #30 scoop produces ~1.0 oz (28–30g).
• A #40 scoop produces ~0.8 oz (22–23g).

Now that you've got the scoop, 
Go bake someone a blessing!   :)
