Based on the standard recipe for making chocolate chip cookies and referring to the available materials, the limiting reactant is chocolate chips. Again, based on the amount of chocolate chips available, around 4 pounds of cookie dough can be made or in terms of number of cookies, 48 pieces of cookies.
