The average for the normal amount of flour cookies were 1.0 cms. For the least amount of flour batch was 2.67 cm. For the most amount of flour the average was 1.5. The first three cookies had 160 grams of flour in it. The heights of those three cookies stayed the same at 1.0 centimeters tall. The second batch of cookies had 96 grams of flour in it. Two of the cookies stayed the same at 2.0. The third one bumped down to 1.5. The final batch had 224 grams of flour in it. All of the cookies stayed the same at 1.5 centimeters. The pattern was that all of the cookies stayed nearly at the same amount. It would have been nice if the cookies had been a little bit more different in height
