In the "chocolate chip cookie dough model" of the atom, the chocolate chips represent negatively charged electrons. The cookie dough would represent the positively charged "soup" in which the electrons (the chocolate chips) are embedded. This analogy reflects the idea that electrons are distributed throughout a positively charged space.
