To find out how many cups of sugar are in each cookie, we need to divide the total amount of sugar by the total number of cookies.

The recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar and makes 24 cookies (2 dozen).

$\frac{2 \text{ cups of sugar}}{24 \text{ cookies}} = \frac{1}{12} \text{ cups of sugar per cookie}$

Therefore, each cookie contains $\frac{1}{12}$ cup of sugar.

Would you like further details or have any questions? Here are 5 related questions for more practice:

1. If the recipe makes 3 dozen cookies with the same 2 cups of sugar, how much sugar is in each cookie?
2. If you want to make half the recipe, how many cups of sugar would you need?
3. How many cookies can you make with 4 cups of sugar?
4. If each cookie had $\frac{1}{8}$ cup of sugar, how much sugar would you need for 24 cookies?
5. How many cups of sugar would be in 36 cookies if the recipe scales proportionally?

Tip: When scaling a recipe up or down, be sure to adjust all the ingredients proportionally to maintain the correct flavor and texture.
