I want one of these for cookies, but I don't know which size I need. Which one is ideal for chocolate chip cookies? Thanks!

I would use the medium for chocolate chip cookies. Probably best to use a level scoop, not a heaping scoop unless you like large cookies.

I find the medium scoop is the best for most cookies, leveling it off against the side of the bowl. Ideally owning all 3 sizes are terrific.

It really depends on how large a cookie you want. For chocolate chip cookies, I use the medium scoop. For smaller cookies, like a Mexican wedding cookie, I use the small scoop. I use the large scoop for cupcakes and muffins. I hope this helps!

I am using the small (2") scoop for drop cookies that have pumpkin, chocolate chips and raisins in them. I find that if I scoop up a moderately rounded amount it is certainly big enough. I just made a batch of these the other day, and the size was ideal. I guess it all depends upon how large you like your cookies! If you would like to try them, here's the recipe: 1/2 C buter+1/2 C brown sugar +1/2 C granulated sugar mixed together. Stir in 1 lightly beaten egg + 1 C canned pumpkin + 1/2 t vanilla extract. In separate bowl mix together 1 C all-purpose flour + 1 t baking soda + 1/2 t salt + 1 t cinnamon + 1/4 t nutmeg. Stir into pumpkin mixture until well mixed. Add in 1/2 C chocolate chips and 1/2 C raisins. Drop (using Oxo Small Cookie Scoop) slightly rounded scoops onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until cookies are firm. Remove from sheets immediately.

I only have the large scoop which, I believe, would make the cookies too big. I would recommend the medium size.

It depends on how big you want your cookies and how much butter/shortening is in your receipe. I love the large one because it usually makes a cookie about 3-3 1/2 inches across. This size is also great for making meat balls.

I don't know the diameters, but the small is supposed to hold 2 teaspoon of dough and produce a 2" cookie. I disagree with that though. It may be okay for dough's without nuts or chips but if you have nuts or chips, I had to use a heaping size. The medium 1 1/2 Tablespoon. I thought it was too big for cookies (even leveled). But I don't like a big cookie. I don't have the large. I wish OXO made a Tablespoon scoop. I don't know why they don't. I bought another brand that does have a Tablespoon size but it's not as good as the OXO brand. Sorry I wasn't more help. Good luck.

I use the smaller one in the regular size cupcakes. I haven't used the larger one yet. It would make a pretty big hole.

Hmm - I have not yet used my med or large. Just the small - and just took a measuring tape and would say that the cookies always turn out to be almost 2 inches, may be a little less. So I would go with the small or check if an extra- small exists somewhere else - hope that helps! I still love it and can not believe it took me all these years to realize these exist.

The largest one can hold either 5 lb of flour or 5 lb of sugar, but the middle-sized one cannot. The middle-sized one holds about 4 lb of sugar, so if you're baking and use some of a new package the remainder would fit. This issue is why I bought two sets. I use the two largest for the 5 lb flour and sugar. I use the other ones for brown sugar, powdered sugar, tea bags, choc chips etc. I didn't have any problem finding a use for the 6 cannisters.

It depends on how much your cookie dough spreads - whether your cookies are mounds or flat. A cookie sheet with interior space measurements of 10"x15" will fit 4 across by 3 down. Hope this helps.

Hi Maggie, you may have enough with a lb of jimmies. I usually rather have left over than possibly be short so maybe buy a 16 oz and the a smaller one just in case if they sell it. If you know you will use these jimmies again, then just go with 2 and use the leftovers on other baked goods.

I bought both sizes. The large one first and found that I didn't need that much room so I then bought the smaller one and it was just right. I use them to make homemade TV Dinners be cause we don't eat at the same time every day like we use to. This way we get a good home cooked meal anytime we want. I guess it all depends what you are planning to use them for and how much you want to put in them. Hope you make the right decision for what you want them for and I hope that this answer helped you in some way.

They are great for cookies! i make chocolate chip cookies in them. they are about 1/2 inch deep and full 3 inches across and full of chocolatey goodness. i made blondies in them and were perfect size for individual desserts with ice cream on top. Great pan!

This set makes small narrow cookies. They are 3 to 4 inch length and only 1 to 1.5 inch wide. I had trouble with the dough sticking in the narrow tails.

I used them for very tiny biscuits once, it was very difficult to get the dough out without misshaping it. I imagine it would work okay, but think Teddy Grahams size. Very tiny.

I just purchased this mixer, works great for cookie baking. Sounds like you need a heavier duty mixer.

I love this scoop and it works great for making big cookies. When I scoop up chocolate chip or oatmeal cookie dough, the cookies are usually 3-1/2 inches in diameter when baked. What I like about it is that when you use it for cookies, they all turn out one size. Very well made and sturdy. I also have a Norpro scoop that is 1/2 Tblsp and I use that for candies, works great. I hope this helped.

Yes, they come in small, medium and large. I use the small and medium for the majority of my cookie recipes. They really do come out perfect.

Not baking cupcakes I'm guessing here but I'd say you'd want a larger scoop - this makes about a 2 inch cookie, when my daughter used it to make biscuits she said she used two scoop from this to make one biscuit.

If the oven is large enough for the pan to clear on all sides and close properly it should be fine. I am not familiar with that brand of oven so I do not have an idea of what the internal dimensions are. If a cookie sheet fits this should work.
