Cookie Batch
Scale a cookie recipe to a different number of cookies.
About Cookie Batch
The desired cookie count divided by the original gives a factor that scales every ingredient together. Cookies are proportion-sensitive, so scaling all ingredients by one factor keeps texture and spread identical at any yield.

Assumptions and limits
- The result is derived only from the 5 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
- In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
- Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
