if you plan to make 8 dozen cookies how many cups of flour do you need?

Question

how many cups of flour

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

Does the question give you like a conversion factor or something like that to work with? Typically you need about 2_1/4 cups of flour for a batch that makes about 3 dozen cookies.

If that was your factor you would need to take

2_1/4 x 8 dozen / 3 dozen = 2.67 to find the scaling factor

Finally then the total amount is

2.25 cups x 2.67 = 6 cups

So for that estimate you would need approximately 6 cups of flour to make 8 dozen cookies.

I hope that helps you get moving in a better direction on this type of question! The specifics depend on the conversion factor and recipe that you're working with.
