Perfectly Even Cookie Balls

March 25, 2013
I'm sure everyone else figured this out a LONG time ago, but while I was making my favorite (and chewy) Molasses cookie recipe I discovered how I could make the perfect, perfectly round cookie balls. Melissaesplin.com - Perfect Cookie Balls I had a small ice cream scoop at one point, but it would always get gummed up with the dough. I've also used regular kitchen spoons, but I don't ever get the perfectly consistent amount every time, and it seemed to take forever to round out those balls perfectly. My little ah-ha moment last week was to use a round table spoon as my scoop, and a small teaspoon to pop the dough out. I got those cookies onto the cookie sheet in record time and they all cooked evenly. BOOM! Mind blown, anyone? How do you get cookie dough onto the cookie sheet? Or does it go straight into your mouth like half of this recipe did into mine?
