To make 120 cookies, we need to calculate how much of each ingredient will be required.
One batch of this recipe makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies, which is 30 cookies. So, to make 120 cookies, we need to multiply the quantities of each ingredient by 4.
Here are the amounts of each ingredient needed to make 120 peanut butter cookies:
- 2 cups of white sugar
- 2 cups of brown sugar
- 2 cups of peanut butter
- 1 cup of shortening
- 1 cup of butter
- 4 eggs
- 5 cups of flour
- 3 teaspoons of baking soda
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
Make sure to provide this list of ingredients to your math teacher so she can make enough cookies for the bake sale!
