I wish i had measured the diameter of my cookie. I got 20 cookies as per recipe. They werent that big. I like my cookies always on the smaller size. My dough was refrigerated overnight. I would suggest you bake a couple of cookies with scoop of your choice and then adjust to size you want.
I just determined that my scoop is #24

Is that 1 Tablespoon?
According to the chart Shelly sent there is no way my scoop is #24. It certainly doesnt hold 3 tablespoons My scoop is 1 1/2" across and holds a little less than 2 tablespoons. Its one i use almost always for cookies. Im confused.
Heres another chart

I’d use a #40 for small cookies. It’s what I’ve used when doing smaller ones.
The recipe for malted malted chocolate cookies calls for 1 1/s tablespoon portions, which I believe is essentially the capacity of a #40 scoop.

I have 2 cookie scoops, one says Piazza, no numbers anywhere, seems just under a tablespoon. I’ll probably use this with generous amount.
The other I finally saw a number inside (!?!) the scoop, 30, and it’s a bit over one tablespoon. Your chart says that’s 2.13 T but that’s not what I’m getting.
Thats what i thought mine always was, until i saw those charts🙄
A 30 is a bit over 2 tbsp, yes. The numbers are on the left sides. They are standardized based on how many scoops fill a 32-oz container. So since an ounce is 2 tbsp, a #30 holds a bit over 2 tbsp.
These are 24, 30, and 40 dishers.

This #20 I have is designed a little differently, but it also has the number towards the left. And it helpfully says it has a 1 5/8 oz capacity. On all of them the number is also across the not sure what the word would be, but the wiper I guess

The chart you posted said they preferred these scoopers:
I don’t think I need to buy new ones; mine seem to be fine.
Oops. Wrong thread.
So, I did a double recipe, (Milk Chocolate Malted Milk Cookies)
mixer with whisk then folded with spatula by hand.
Took 10-11 minutes, 12 to a pan, used my small scooper, generously. I like this small size. I opted not to top with flaky sea salt.
Definitely chewy, fudgy but somehow I can’t taste the malted milk powder. I used Bensdorp Dutch Cocoa I’d gotten from King Arthur and had forgotten about.

SUPER helpful photos!! I thought mine did not have size markings – nothing on the sides or handles. But sure enough - numbers are on the “wiper”. The 2 I use are a 50 and a 60.

@Stef_bakes - I love my oxo #40.
@Aubergine - what size scoop did you use? My cookies really spread
My small one that I can’t find a number on … but it’s a little under one Tablespoon. I did generous scoops, 12 balls per sheet. I didn’t think they spread too much.
