Either way is correct.
"Makes" in 'Who makes dinner' is the verb that describes what "Who" does. If it turns out "Who" does not make dinner, then we might question, "Well, who does make dinner?"

To dine or not to dine. That is the question.
( kidding.)
I normally check all my problems in :
www.britishcouncil.org
Also the book:
Practical English Usage by Michael Swan
Oxford University Press
In this book he has explained in details almost all the common problems we non-native speakers of English might face. This is by far the best source I have always had for my problems.
Hope you find it useful.

the first one is correct. you do not need the does. it could also be who's making dinner.

the 1st one is corect. no there is no need for using do/does. The 1st question is in the present, u can also say who is making dinner? that will be another tense

first tense correct
you could also use several other variations for example
slang, who's feeding the five thousand,
grubs up get it on
oxford, is one preparing a fast
northern, e by gum our mother, i cud eat a scabby horse tween two bread vans

The first one is more common. The second one is also correct when we want to emphasise 'does'. I advise you to stick to the first one, for now.

1st one is correct.
Second one is nor incorrect, but awkward... try using the first one only!

No easy answer!
'Who makes dinner?' ' I do.'
'Who makes dinner?' 'Not me.' 'Who does make dinner?' 'My boyfriend.'
Subtle difference.
By the way it's 'thanks', 'thanx' is U.S.
