The one baking essential I reach for every single time I make cookies is my 2.8 tablespoon cookie scoop. It gives you perfectly portioned cookie dough balls every time, so every cookie bakes up the same size, the same shape, and the same golden edges. This medium cookie scoop is the sweet spot size for classic chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies, snickerdoodles, and even sourdough discard cookies. I also use mine for meatballs, energy bites, muffin batter, and cupcake liners, which makes it one of the most used tools in my kitchen. If you are building out your baking must haves or stocking a new kitchen, a stainless steel cookie scoop is worth every penny.
