Why use this tool?

Use this tool to calculate an ingredient weight for cookie dough from flour weight and a chosen baker’s percentage. Weigh dough portions consistently. A fractional portion equivalent is useful for planning but is not another full cookie.

How the calculation works

Ingredient weight = flour weight × chosen baker’s percentage ÷ 100. Flour weight must be positive and the entered percentage non-negative. This calculates your selected percentage; it does not recommend a formula. Dough weights are measured before baking. Cookie spread, bake loss and tray space are not calculated. Decimal quantity arithmetic uses the entered values before display rounding. Quantities use up to six decimal places; smaller nonzero results use scientific notation. Currency uses the selected currency’s minor unit. Inputs and numeric results are bounded by magnitude 9,007,199,254,740,991.

Practical tip

Weigh dough portions consistently. A fractional portion equivalent is useful for planning but is not another full cookie.
