How many batches of the cookie recipe did you need to make all the cookies? How many tiles did you make?
We needed 2 batches to make the 24 tiles, 4 kings, 2 castles and starting tiles. It may depend on how big you make your cookies. Ours were about the same size as the giant version of kingdomino.
