Cookie Scoop Sizes: Numbers, Tablespoons and mL
Compare cookie scoop sizes by disher number, tablespoons, fluid ounces and millilitres. The number represents approximate level scoops per US quart. Use the batch yield calculator with your scoop, fill setting and measured dough quantity; manufacturer capacities can differ.

Quick answer
Two US tablespoons are about 29.6 mL and 1 US fluid ounce. Under the level disher convention, 64 ÷ scoop number gives tablespoons, so #32 corresponds to 2 tablespoons. This calculator’s menu includes #30, about 2.13 tablespoons, but not #32. Mass in grams requires your dough’s density or a scale.
Scoop size converter and batch calculator
Use a positive batch amount and a positive density when entering grams. Level means a fill factor of 1; Slightly rounded uses the tool’s fixed estimate of 1.15. Density defaults to 1.1 g/mL as an assumption, not a measurement of your dough. Scoops per batch is rounded down to whole portions.

Grams depend on the dough
Mass = volume × density. For a hypothetical density of 1.1 g/mL, a level #40 is approximately 23.7 mL and 26 g. A two-tablespoon volume is about 29.6 mL, so that same assumed density gives about 32.5 g. Weigh your own dough to establish its density; there is no fixed gram value for every recipe.
Batch yield example: 5 US cups
The form uses 236.59 mL per cup, divides batch volume by the estimated filled scoop volume, then rounds down. Sheets assumes 12 portions per sheet; it is a planning count, not a baking instruction.
| Scoop | Fill factor | Whole scoops | Sheets at 12 per sheet |
|---|---|---|---|
| #40 | 1 | 50 | 5 |
| #30 | 1 | 37 | 4 |
| #20 | 1 | 25 | 3 |
| #16 | 1 | 20 | 2 |
| #40 | 1.15 | 43 | 4 |
Cookie scoops and ice cream scoops
Compare stated capacity and fill level rather than the product name. A numbered disher follows a portions-per-quart convention; an unnumbered scoop may have a different shape or capacity. The table does not verify any brand’s dimensions or performance.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams is a 2 tbsp cookie scoop?
Two US tablespoons are about 29.6 mL. Multiply that volume by your measured dough density, or weigh a level scoop. At an assumed 1.1 g/mL, it is about 32.5 g; other doughs differ.
Is a #30 scoop the same as 2 tablespoons?
Not exactly. A #30 scoop is about 2.13 tablespoons, while an exact 2 tablespoon disher would be #32.
45 g is how many ml for cookie dough?
Divide 45 g by your dough density in g/mL. At an assumed 1.1 g/mL, that is about 40.9 mL. The density must be measured or supplied; it is not universal.
What size is a #40 cookie scoop?
About 1.6 tablespoons (0.8 fl oz, 24 ml).
What size is a #20 scoop?
About 3.2 tablespoons (1.6 fl oz, 47 ml).
What does the number on a scoop mean?
How many level scoops fill a US quart.
What scoop size for muffins?
The table gives approximate capacity: #16 is about a quarter US cup and #12 about a third. Choose the fill amount specified by your recipe and tin.
What size is a tablespoon cookie scoop?
A theoretical #64 disher is one US tablespoon. The menu includes #60 (about 1.07 tbsp) and #70 (about 0.91 tbsp), but not #64.
Are handle colours standard?
No, colours vary by brand — use the number.
How many tablespoons is a #30 scoop?
About 2.1 tablespoons (1.07 fl oz, 32 ml).
What scoop size for meatballs?
A #20 to #40 scoop, depending on how big you like them.
How do I convert a scoop size to cups?
Divide 4 by the scoop number: a #16 is ¼ cup, a #8 is ½ cup.
Why are my cookies different sizes?
Scoop level each time and chill soft dough so portions stay even.
Does scoop size change baking time?
Portion size can affect baking, but this calculator does not determine oven temperature or time. Follow your recipe and check the actual bake.
