Assuming there can only be 2 cookies per identical package, She can make 42 identical packages which contains 2 chocolate chip cookies and 1 sugar cookie.

86 / 2 = 43 chocolate chips cookies

42 / 1 = 42 sugar cookies

With the sugar cookies not having the capability to match the requirements we will assume for this answer that an "Identical Package" is composed of 2 chocolate chip cookies, and a single sugar cookie.
