Gemma2.2b has seemed to be a pretty reliable model for its’ size. Good reasoning, a bit of character, and runs fast on just about anything (even phones and outdated laptops). We have mostly been using this with Ollama on an M1 Mac Mini with 8GB Ram and an Intel i5-6300u Windows Surface Book with 8GB Ram, both run it without any issues and pairing it with Open Web UI enables web search and the ability to look at images and documents with reasonable results. What we are here for though is the WAC3 results, find our cookie chat below and the recipe baking results courtesy of Yv following.
How many chocolate chips must a cookie have to be considered a chocolate chip cookie?
gemma2:2b
There’s no official rule on how many chocolate chips a cookie needs to be called a “chocolate chip cookie”!It really comes down to taste and preference . However, here are some general guidelines:
The common (and possibly arbitrary) threshold:
Most people consider at least 15-20 chocolate chips per cookie as a good amount.
This usually yields a decent chocolatey punch without being overwhelmingly heavy or overstuffed.
Beyond the number:Texture matters: Some people love the chewiness of larger chunks, while others prefer finely broken bits for a smooth bite.
Other ingredients: The type of cookie (classic, chewy, crispy) can affect how many chips feel necessary to balance out other flavors and textures.
Bottom line: It’s really about your personal definition ! 🍪 😊 Enjoy your chocolate chip cookies however you like! 🍫Great, can you give me a simple chocolate chip cookie recipe?

Here’s a super simple and classic chocolate chip cookie recipe:Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions:Preheat: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed until just combined. Don’t overmix!
Stir in chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon. The dough will be thick.
Scoop and bake: Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers look just set.
Cool on sheet: Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Tips for Perfection:Chill the dough: If your dough is very sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before baking (this helps with cookie spreading).
Don’t overbake: Keep a close eye on the cookies while baking. Overbaking can make them dry and crumbly.
Variations: Get creative! You can add chopped nuts, different types of chocolate chips, or even swirl in some peanut butter for an extra kick.
Enjoy your warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies! 🍪
Soft, gooey, and overall the Gemma2:2b Cookie is pretty good. Our only complaint was they are a bit heavy on the chocolate chips, but if you like a soft chewy cookie look no further. The chip count per cookie fell short of the initial discussion on chip volume by about 20%, so it is interesting how the AI is working between the discussion of how many chips make a chocolate chip cookie compared to how many it ends up putting in it. The dough was sticky like the Ai predicted and did need some chilling in the fridge prior to portioning. They are definitely not a milk dunking cookie, their gooey soft texture is too moist for milk uptake, but they would compliment ice cream well. The recipe made 38 cookies, they were slightly flat without much rise, but an overall success for Gemma2:2b.
That is until you check out the WAC3 table, and you notice it is nearly an exact copy of our control recipe from Nestle Tollhouse. Now we are left wondering if this is just a regurgitation of training data that happens to include the control recipe within the model, or if this is just the most common possible recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Spoiler alert, other models have different recipes, so definitely interesting, and no wonder they came out so well.
