Earlier this week I wrote about a catering we have booked for 1400 boy scouts this weekend. Well, since then, the number has grown to 1550 boy scouts from the Gerald Ford Boy Scout Council, Grand Rapids, Michigan area.
Today I baked the cookies... well, I actually baked over 1800 cookies because I also needed 140 for a box lunch catering the same day (plus extra to allow for breakage, etc.)
I snapped this photo just in case you ever wondered what 1700 homemade chocolate-chocolate chip cookies looks like. :)

All those cookies, and I didn't even have time to taste one—incredible.
Anyway, here's the bottom line:
180# of dry ingredients
36# of butter
180 eggs
Approximately 19,000 chocolate chips!
As my mixer will only make cookie dough for 150 cookies at a time, I really could have used a cement mixer!
