Recipe: Cookie Dough Truffles (2024)

FAQs

What size scoop makes 1 inch balls? ›

To achieve that, you'll need to use a scoop that's a bit bigger than the size ball you want to make. That's because a cookie scoop makes a dome, not a sphere. For example, to get a 1-inch ball of cookie dough, try using a #60 scoop.

The best cookie scoops to use for small cookies are #60-100. These cookie scoops are also a great size for measuring truffles, protein balls, and drop cookies with accuracy and precision. You can also use it to quickly put the perfect amount of frosting on cupcakes or a scoop of sour cream or guacamole on Mexican food.

That's right—just by looking at the way your dough sticks to the mixer you can tell whether you have too much flour, not enough flour, or too many eggs. In this case you can counter the imbalance straight away, adding more wet ingredients or more flour until you get the consistency you want.

Well, a one-inch diameter sphere has a volume of 1.74 teaspoons, or 0.58 tablespoons. It looks like the numbered sizes are in fractions of a quart, so if you could have any size you wanted, that'd be a a #110 disher.

Quantity: For most dishes you will require 8 – 12 grams per person. A starter will want less than a main course. A 50-gram truffle is about the size of a large hens egg. A 100-gram truffle is about the size of a tennis ball.

If you know how many tablespoons, you can calculate the gauge # of scoop you need! So, 64 ÷ scoop# = tbsp OR 64 ÷ tbsp = scoop#. To solve for scoop# I just divided 64 by 2.66 (tbsp.) and got 24.06.

Dry – “Dry” or “Crumbly” dough is a product of over-mixing or using too much of any ingredient during the mixing process. This can be reversed by adding one to two tablespoons of liquid (water, milk or softened butter) to your mix.

Popping your dough in the fridge allows the fats to cool. As a result, the cookies will expand more slowly, holding onto their texture. If you skip the chilling step, you're more likely to wind up with flat, sad disks instead of lovely, chewy cookies. Cookies made from chilled dough are also much more flavorful.

First, try adding more liquid to the dough. This can be milk, water, or even just a little bit of extra oil. If that doesn't work, you can try kneading the dough for a few minutes to help it come together. Lastly, if all else fails, you can always add in a few tablespoons of flour to help bind the dough together.

There are 16 tablespoons in one US standard cup.

Does 8 tablespoons equal 1 cup? ›

8 tablespoons (tbsp) = 1/2 cup (c) 10 tablespoons (tbsp) + 2 teaspoons (tsp) = 2/3 cup (c) 12 tablespoons (tbsp) = 3/4 cup (c) 16 tablespoons (tbsp) = 1 cup (c)

Basically, a rounded teaspoon is one in which the dough forms a mound slightly higher than the top of the spoon.

Eat meatballs, specifically, which a medium-size scoop can help you portion out with precision.
