I got 84 cookies when I used the small purple scoop.

[May 2019. I made a gluten free version using almond meal and xanthan gum. I got 73 to 77 cookies with my purple scoop this time. I could only fit 12 per sheet because they spread out so much. Or I can put 24 or more per sheet, and then cut them apart.]
