Difference between cookie scoop and ice cream scoop?

Question

I have really been wanting a set of cookie scoops to make cookies and have them be a uniform size and shape. I have been looking and all the cookie scoops I find are at least 10 dollars a piece. However, I found ice cream scoops that look just like the cookie scoops and it is only 10 dollars for a set of three. I was wondering if it would be the same thing? I have posted the two links below. Thanks!

Answer 1

Answer 2

Cookie Scoop

Answer 3

Ice Cream Scoops scoop up at least 1/2 cup or more of ice cream. Some scoops have a release bar and some don't. Ice cream scoops usually have one handle. Cookie scoops usually hold a maximum 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and always have a release bar, often two release bars and usually have two handles that you squeeze together. Both scoops come in different sizes but ice cream scoops always hold more product than a cookie scoop will. You can try using a measuring spoon coated with a little cooking spray or butter, so the cookie dough will release easily.

Answer 4

Scoops or dishers come in all sizes and the size will determine what it might be used for.

I suggest you go to a restaurant supply store and check out the scoops there.

There is no difference. Look for a scoop that has a thumb trigger release not one that just pushes out the product. The best ones have a metal band that sweeps the inside of the scoop.

The size of the scoop will be determined by a number. Look for one that is at least 18-8 stainless steel. They are stronger.

Answer 5

Cookie scoops are smaller, and they need a stronger hinges to be able to handle ejecting cookie dough.
