It will depend on the recipe you are using and what kind of cookie you plan to make. Here is how you can figure it out.First, you need to know:How many cookies does your recipe say it will make?Let's pretend it says 2 dozen, which is 24.How much butter does the recipe call for, to make that many cookies? Let's pretend it calls for 1/2 cup of butter.Replace the example numbers (24 cookies and 1/2 cups butter) with the answers you get from above.Then, you divide 150 by 24. The answer is 6, so this means you need to make 6 batches of cookies using that same recipe.Next, multiply 1/2 cups of butter x 6 batches. The answer is 3 cups of butter - that's how much butter you will need to make 150 cookies.Remember, this is an example, you will need to use your own numbers, according to your recipe.

You will need 1 pound of powdered sugar to make a batch of cookies according to the recipe.
To find out how much flour is needed for 5 dozen cookies, first determine the amount of flour per dozen. Since the recipe uses 4 cups of flour for 3 dozen cookies, that means it requires approximately 1.33 cups of flour per dozen (4 cups ÷ 3 dozen). For 5 dozen cookies, multiply 1.33 cups by 5, which equals about 6.67 cups of flour. Therefore, you will need approximately 6 and 2/3 cups of flour for 5 dozen cookies.
