Cookie Scoop

If you don't know already either by personal use or by today's post's title - this little utensil is a cookie scoop. I picked it up last year at Macy's and it's sure gotten a lot of use in my kitchen - especially these past few weeks.

It's so important to keep cookie batter the same size when you place them on a baking sheet to bake. Why is this? To ensure that they all get done at the same time. Think about it, how many times have you done it by hand and your cookies aren't the same size. Some are baked to perfection, some are a little too dark, and some are under baked. When you read a cookie recipe, the estimated baking time is always given with the assumption the cookie batter has been portioned evenly. If you're an avid cookie baker, this little tool will be a life saver!!
