Prompt:
I'm planning to gift holiday cookie boxes to my loved ones for Christmas. It's a large undertaking, so your help is needed for the planning process. I have the following cookie flavours: snickerdoodle, soft gingerbread, shortbread, triple chocolate peppermint, browned butter chocolate chip, copycat cranberry bliss bar, and soft sugar cookie. I have two variations of the shortbread (sprinkle and jam thumbprint), but I'm using the same dough for both, so that's why I just listed it as shortbread. My recipients are the Smith family, my household, my boyfriend, my boyfriend's family, Angel Family, my grandma, and my brother and sister-in-law (shared box for these two).   All large boxes will have the same number of cookies: 3 per flavour. My boyfriend will have a condensed box with two of each cookie, except three of each shortbread. My grandma will only have one of each cookie, except for two of each shortbread. She can't eat as much and has some health conditions, so she gets the lowest amount. 

First, I need you to calculate how many cookies I need to prepare for each flavour to accommodate all boxes. Indicate this amount as well as how many cookies will be in each box total. Then, I need you to look at the recipes and decide how many batches I need. Never split eggs or egg yolks. If a recipe needs to be doubled and will have extra cookies leftover, tell me exactly how many extra cookies I will have. I might be able to include more in each box, depending on the amount. Tell me, even if a single batch has leftovers too! Use half-batches where appropriate and allowed, since I don't need a tremendous amount of extra cookies.

After you figure this out, tell me exactly how much of each ingredient I need. First, ingredients at the store are indicated in grams, not cups, but most of my recipes give the measurements in imperial, so you need to use standard conversions to convert to metric units. This step is necessary because I need you to tell me how many packages of each ingredient I need so I don't overbuy. If the recipe already includes the grams measurement, use that for your reference. 

Afterwards, create a grocery list with the following categories: dry ingredients, wet ingredients (including butter), mix-ins/toppings (including chocolate), and other (if needed, but don't put items here if they clearly belong somewhere else). Indicate the number of packages to buy based on the standards I provide below.

Evaluation criteria:
The response should correctly state the total number of cookies in each large box as: 24 cookies total (3 of each cookie flavour and 8 flavours since the two shortbread variations are counted separately).
