samir’s cookies will be more chocolaty.
the two sets of cookies will be equally chocolaty.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Paisley's ratio

Paisley uses 5 cups of dough with 2 quarter - cups of chocolate chips. The ratio of chocolate chips to dough is $\frac{2}{5}$.

Step2: Calculate Samir's ratio

Samir uses 5 cups of dough with 3 quarter - cups of chocolate chips. The ratio of chocolate chips to dough is $\frac{3}{5}$.
