Yesterday I was thinking of making my Double Chocolate Pecan Crunchy Cake Cookies to bake ahead for an upcoming church bake sale, but I wanted to get some consistency to the size of each cookie, and a teaspoon from the kitchen drawer was not the answer. Neither was a mellon baller, because the dough gets stuck in the cup. So I started looking online for a small disher, but the ones I found were all $19.95 + shipping, which I thought was too expensive. So I called my local restaurant supply and was told they had quite a few sizes available. So off I went to see what they had.
Sure enough I found this unit which has worked very well for me:
Here's how the cookie dough portions out on the sheet pan:
And here are the finished cookies, which all measured 2" across. I made the dough fairly stiff, so next time I'll add a couple of tablespoons of water so the dough spreads a bit more.
I'll probably be adding a couple more sizes of dishers to my kitchen tools to gain greater consistency in the end product, if nothing more than to improve presentation.
