Stoichiometry and Chocolate Chip Cookies

For me$,$ there is nothing quite like a warm, chewy, chocolate chip cookie fresh out of the oven!

My favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe calls for $3$ cups of flour, $2$ tsp of baking powder, $1$ tsp of salt, $1$ cup of butter, $2$ cup brown sugar, $2$ eggs, $2$ tsp of vanilla extract, and $2$ cups of chocolate chips. This recipe cannot be scaled...you can only make a full batch at a time. It makes $36$ large cookies.

The last time I went to make cookies, I assembled all of my ingredients on the counter. I had $10$ cups of flour, $20$ tsp of baking powder, $5tsp$ of salt, $5$ cups of butter, $12$ cups of brown sugar, $24$ eggs, $12$ tsp of vanilla extract, and $15$ cups of chocolate chips.

What to do$?$

Write out the cookie recipe as a chemical equation $($for example, you might use the acronym $"$F$"$ to represent flour, and $"Cc"$ for chocolate chips$).$

How many batches of cookies can I make with the supplies I have? Show
