How it works
Divide the weight of the whole batch of dough by the weight of one cookie's worth of dough, then round down, because a partial cookie does not count.
Weigh one scoop of dough on a kitchen scale to get the per cookie weight. Scoop sizes are labeled differently by each brand, so the label alone is not a reliable guide.
Worked example
A batch of 2.2 lb of dough, cut into pieces of 1.5 oz, makes 23 cookies.
Questions
Why weigh instead of counting scoops?
Scoops are not all the same size, and dough packs differently from one scoop to the next. Weight gives a steadier count.
What if I make a different size?
Weigh a new piece and enter that weight. Smaller cookies bake faster, so check the first tray.
Does baking change the count?
No. Baked cookies lose some moisture, but you are counting pieces of dough, so the number stays the same.
