I don't have a 2 TBSP cookie scoop

8 years ago

Or any cookie scoop for that matter. How would you eyeball 2 TBSP? 2 inches? 3 inches? Or use two actual tablespoons and put together? THANKS.

Cookie scoops are a new addition to kitchens. Do it the old fashioned way, use a spoon or two. I would guess 2 Tbsp would equal a size old recipes call the size of a walnut, a big one.

Thanks for the quick reply! I was really stressing. I'm already to put on the cookie sheet when I panicked.

These are really good! Chorizo and Shrimp Quesadillas with Smoky Guacamole 2 ripe Haas avocados 1 lime, juiced A couple pinches salt 1/4 cup sour cream, 3 rounded tablespoonfuls 2 chipotle peppers in adobo, available in cans on specialty food aisle in Mexican section 1/2 pound chorizo sausage, sliced thin on an angle 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus some for drizzling 1 clove garlic, cracked away from skin and crushed 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed, ask for easy-peels at fish counter Salt and freshly ground black pepper 4 (12- inch) flour tortillas 1/2 pound, 2 cups, shredded pepper Jack cheese Cut avocados all the way around with a sharp knife. Scoop out the pit, then spoon avocado flesh away from skin into a food processor. Add the juice of 1 lime, a couple of pinches salt, sour cream and chipotles in adobo. Pulse guacamole until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl. Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Brown chorizo 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from pan. Add oil, garlic, then shrimp. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and cook shrimp until pink, 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a cutting board and coarsely chop. Add a drizzle of oil to the pan and a large tortilla. Cook tortilla 30 seconds, then turn. Cover 1/2 of the tortilla with a couple of handfuls of cheese. Arrange a layer of chorizo and shrimp over the cheese and fold tortilla over. Press down gently with a spatula and cook tortilla a minute or so on each side to melt cheese and crisp. Remove quesadilla to large cutting board and repeat with remaining ingredients. Cut each quesadilla into 5 wedges and transfer to plates with your spatula. Top wedges of quesadillas with liberal amounts of smoky guacamole.

xpost at harvest:help i have an abundance of cukes and don't know

We like this simple relish. Good in curried chicken salad, or mix w/ yogurt for raita. This year I tried a batch omitting the onion and using more cukes, and replacing the mustards and cumin with some garlic, dill seed, lemon juice and a little preserved lemon. Hopefully it will be tzatziki-ish. Indian-Style Cucumber Relish From Small Batch Preserving by Ellie Topp & Margaret Howard 6 cups diced, peeled cucumber (8-12 medium pickling cucumbers) 2 cups thinly sliced onion 1 tablespoon pickling salt (I use kosher) 2 cups white vinegar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds 2 tsp black mustard seeds 2 tsp yellow mustard seeds Place cucumber and onion in a non-reactive bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Let sit for 4 hours (or up to overnight), stirring occasionally. Drain vegetables, rinse twice and drain completely. Combine vinegar sugar, cumin and mustard in a non-reactive pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add vegetables and return to a boil for 30 seconds. Fill clean, hot jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Process half-pints or pints in boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Makes 6 half-pint jars. This post was edited by katiec on Sun, Aug 18, 13 at 17:36

What size cookie scoop do I buy?
Q
Comments (9)
Put some water into a liquid measuring cup, make a cookie the size you like it, drop it into the cup and note the displacement. I have various dishers from a restaurant supply store and from other random stores. While I use them for several things like portioning meatballs, pancake batter, etc. I find them fairly unsatisfactory for cookies - at least chocolate chip cookies. Reason being, the thick batter is too much resistance for the "sweeper" and I end up skipping gears. I would not recommend buying one without having one in hand to perform a simple test: Pinch the sweeper tightly with one hand and give the handle a FIRM sqeeze with the other. If that skipped a gear, so will cookies, cold ice cream, etc. INOX is the brand I got from the supply house. The others don't say, but the design is identical.

cookie scoop ???
Q
Comments (4)
I have 7 different graduated sizes of stainless steel scoops for everything from portioning muffin batter to a tiny scoop just the right size for dainty pressed shortbread cookies. I've purchased mine at restaurant supply stores and speciality shops with cooking/baking gadgets. You'll love them!!! If for no other reason, your cookies (muffins, etc.) will come out a lot closer to the same size and will cook more evenly. -Grainlady

or measure two tbls and put them together to see how big that is and then eyeball the rest. Or look for a serving spoon that holds about that much.

Peppermint Bark Sugar Cookies! I've never made them before. I just finished peanut butter blossoms. Those said 1 inch so i used my ruler for the first one and then I could eyeball it.

As long as they are consistent, it doesn't matter much except for bake time. Sounds nice!

2 tablespoons looked GIGANTIC. The recipe said if you made smaller cookies cook 8 minutes instead of 10 and to look for them to crack on top slightly. I had to go over 8 minutes even with the smaller cookie.

Remember that when using a tablespoon measuring spoon, the product that you are measuring is flat across the top. That is, level with the top edge of the tablespoon. So, if you scoop out a tablespoon, but don't "flatten it," you will have too much. (And in measuring a tablespoon is the same as three teaspoons.)

Gigantic seems odd...Two TBLS, if you measure how Lindsey says, would only be the size of a walnut and not a huge one! (if you picture the size of a walnut shell half, it's about the size of one measuring TBLS.

I'm a novice so it's a big learning curve. They smell great. There's one that clearly is mis-shaped and weird looking. That will be the taste test!

The cook always must test from the first batch to see if they are baked long enough or not enough. And the misshapen ones are for the taking too. My grandsons like my baking rules.

Two tablespoons equal one ounce.

I just scoop up the dough with one spoon and scrape it on to the cookie sheet with another. If the dough is stiffer, I use my fingers to scoop it out, roll it into a ball with my hands and flatten with either the bottom of a glass or fork, both of which have butter on them (a little) then dipped in flour, to keep from sticking to the dough. I have never ever measured the dough to make cookies.
