A tablespoon-size cookie scoop makes quick work of these cookies – much faster than using a tablespoon; the scoop also insures that the cookies are uniform in size. Scoops in all sizes are available in department stores, restaurant supplies, and online. Another time, use a larger scoop (1/4 cup size),bake the cookies for a longer amount of time, and fill with ice cream for great ice cream sandwiches.
