Ohhh... of course you wait until I am fairly serious (fairly ROFL) about a diet and post these luscious cookies...What a cool idea...never thought about using that scoop to make my cookies uniform!! (Thanks!!) Great page...love the stains on the recipe card also!
Not only does the scoop make the cookies more uniform, it prevents our hands from getting so icky and its way faster!
