What's the diameter? i.e. is it good for scooping for mini cupcakes and 1" balls of cookie dough?

Diameter measures 1 1/4 inches (inside scoop measurement) Yes, it would be good for both purposes.

The diameter is 1 5/16. I use this for all my baking. Perfect for cookie dough, mini cupcakes, mini meatballs. I like this scoop over OXO because the lever that helps to scoop the dough out is much stronger. Do not try to use it to scoop out hard refrigerated dough because it will bend the lever. This is my second scoop and my favorite by far and the price is right.

Hey, I'd love to be exact, but, I have 3 sizes, 1", 1 1/4" and 1 1/2"! Whenever I try cookies or whatever, I run a test and use a couple of sizes and see which has the best result.I'm a total novice at baking but these scoops are really fantastic! Quality of the stainless steel is noted as 18/8. The mechanism is smooth and strong. Hope I helped.

No, Lisa. I wouldn't use this particular ice cream scoop for cookie dough nor for biscuits. I use the completely round scoops that come in all different sizes depending on the size of cookie or biscuit that you want to make. I really love this very strong and durable ice cream scoop and I use it exclusively to scoop ice cream or sherbet or any frozen dessert.

I used them for very tiny biscuits once, it was very difficult to get the dough out without misshaping it. I imagine it would work okay, but think Teddy Grahams size. Very tiny.

It's about 1 1/2". Perfect for brownies, small cake, or small roasting pan. They're excellent, heavy duty. I've tossed all my bakeware and replaced with Wilton. Hope this helped.

I can't tell you the precise diameter, but volume wise it holds double the amount of the standard 12 cup muffin tins. I use mine to cook individual meat loaves and quiches etc. if you were to use it for muffins it would hold a full recipe and make jumbo size muffins!

I have used both to make cookies, it is just a matter of cooky size. Personally I like smaller-sized cookies. The smaller scoop gives yo a 2" diameter cooky.

It is 3 inches in diameter [anything less does not qualify as a biscuit for me] and 1.75 inches in height. Works great.

Hi Debbie,I'll try to remember to measure for you when I get home tonight if someone else hasn't already answered by then....my guess is that it's about 3/4" in diameter. It really is a good size of core for a regular cupcake, I think. I'll measure the depth, too. It may not go really deep into an ice cream cone cupcake, which you might prefer anyway...

The medium-size scoop picks up approximately 1-1/2 tablespoons of dough, which yields a cookie 2-3/4 inches in diameter. It can also be used to produce decorative 1-3/4-inch balls of ice cream, rice, and other foods. The large holds 3 tablespoons of dough; yields a 3-1/2-inch cookie.

Not baking cupcakes I'm guessing here but I'd say you'd want a larger scoop - this makes about a 2 inch cookie, when my daughter used it to make biscuits she said she used two scoop from this to make one biscuit.

I have used it for GF cake and brownie mixes (about 12 oz) and 1 mix fills 5 cups neatly. Try to use all 6 and you will have tiny little cakes!

I do know that a 10 in cake on the top is a bit big. 8 inch would look better. I'm not really sure how many cupcakes or cookies it will hold. You might be able to tell by counting the cupcakes in the picture. I used it to hold donuts.

I think it would be too big for cookie dough, and since I've never made biscuits, I probably shouldn't answer that. It seems that it would be a better size for biscuits than cookies. It is awesome for cutting through hard ice cream though! Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

For a regular size cupcake tin, the lg scoop works very well, 1 scoop per tin. Gives a nice full rounded cupcake.

I don't know but I would think it would be too small. Works great for cookie sheet liner for cooking bread and granola.

It's about 6-6 1\2 in diameter. Good for little hands. Got it for my 8yo daughter.
