How much should I sell cookies for at my bake sale?

Depends on the size.\n\nTry putting 4 or 5 in a bag for $1.  But, I wouldn't make them too big.  People like to feel like they're getting a bargain.\n\nHave Fun!\n\nBest of Luck to YOU!

First, get a job in a bakery and learn all you can about they're run. Learn all the asspects of what needs to happen. Then go to the SBA http://www.sba.gov/ and get an advisor. If you know the business, they'll likely help you out. If you just bake cakes in your own kitchen, it could be a harder sell.

Candy is very cheap in bulk. You could turn a good profit selling it.

It depends if you are willing to fight the crowds. The sales are enticing but you may get trampled or mauled out there.\n\nMerry Early Christmas!

Probably depends on what you are selling and  the mark-up of what you are selling.

I searched for hours and could not find the actual selling cost of the first chocolate chip cookie.  Hopefully someone else can answer that for you.\n\nResource 1:\nThe chocolate chip cookie, also known as the Toll House Cookie, was accidentally developed by Ruth Graves Wakefield, owner of the Toll House Inn near Whitman, Massachusetts, in 1937. Wakefield was making chocolate cookies but ran out of regular baker's chocolate and substituted broken pieces of semi-sweet chocolate, assuming it would melt and mix into the batter. It did not, and the cookie with chips of chocolate was born.\n\nResource 2:\nMrs. Ruth GraveWakefield, Co-owner of the “Toll House” Inn/Restaurant, in Whitman, MA, where they were originally made/served in 1937 (hence the name Toll House cookies for chocolate chip cookies).  She later cut a deal with Nestles: she’d get a lifetime supply of chocolate chips; in return, Nestles could print the recipe for Toll House cookies on the back of  package of Nestles chocolate chips.  Mrs. Whitman died in 1977; the Toll House Inn burned down on New Year’s Eve, 1984, but the recipe for Toll House cookies is still printed on the back of the packages of Nestles chocolate chips.\n\nMARKET FOR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE:\nResource 3:\nAs for market, I would say ABSOLUTELY.  As Resource 3 quotes:\n"One of Ruth's favorite recipes was an old recipe for "Butter Drop Do" cookies that dated back to colonial times. The recipe called for the use of baker's chocolate. One day Ruth found herself without a needed ingredient. Having a bar of semisweet chocolate on hand, she chopped it into pieces and stirred the chunks of chocolate into the cookie dough. She assumed that the chocolate would melt and spread throughout each cookie. Instead the chocolate bits held their shape and created a sensation. She called her new creation the Toll House Crunch Cookies. The Toll House Crunch Cookies became very popular with guests at the inn, and soon her recipe was published in a Boston newspaper, as well as other papers in the New England area.   Word of the cookie spread and it became popular."\nIt certainly looks as though the popularity spread through word of mouth.  In fact, check out Resource 4.  It says:\n"Wakefield sold the recipe to Nestlé in exchange for a lifetime supply of chocolate chips. Every bag of Nestlé chocolate chips in North America has Wakefield's original recipe printed on the back.\n\nToday, half the cookies baked in American homes are chocolate-chip, with an estimated seven billion consumed annually."\nThis definately goes to show taht the market WAS and (obviously) IS there for the cookie.  Regardless of if the market was there, Nestle certainly popularized it, because they put it in front of every chocolate chip consumer, so people thought of the cookie whenever they bought a bag of chips.\n\nSee resources:

This is pretty straightforward to figure out.\n\nFirst figure out how many candles.  Each one is 400g from a 20kg block.\n\nYou would divide:\n20kg / 400g\n\nFirst convert to the same units:\n20000g / 400g\n\nSo you can create 50 candles from a 20kg block.\n\nSelling them at £4 each that's a gross income of £200.\nSubtract your original investment of £40 for a profit of £160\n\nSelling them at £5 each, that's a gross income of £250.\nSubtract your original investment of £40 for a profit of £210\n\n(Note: this all assumes that you have no other costs, but in real life you have your labor, equipment, waste and defective product, electricity, marketing & sales, returns, etc.  So if this is a real life question, your net profit will actually be much less.)\n\nPutting that all aside for now, the answer to this question would be that you can make around 50 candles and a profit between £160 and £210.

I would charge from $15 to $20 the hour. Even if they have money all should have a fair price!!!

1.  Layered Cookie Mixes\n\nOne of the things that I plan on doing this year is Cookie Mixes in a Jar. You can pick up Mason jars at your local grocers and Wal-Mart often has fabric on sale for $1 a yard. Layer the ingredients in your jars according to the recipe. Slap on some fabric and a ribbon and you have an instant gift that didn't cost a whole lot and comes from the heart.\n\n2.  Sharing a Touch of Heaven\n\nOne year, I gave out "Paper White" Narcissus bulbs. In a small terra cotta pot, place a small amount of potting soil in a resealable baggie. On top, lay 3 to 4 bulbs. On top of that, lay a copy of printed directions on how to care for the plants. Cover with the terra cotta dish. Then wrap a pretty holiday ribbon around it all.\n\nAll of this was very inexpensive. I bought my pots at Michaels. The pot and lid cost a little over $1. The Paper White bulbs are inexpensive if you can find a large bag of 30 to 40 bulbs. I bought mine at Home Depot for less than $10. A bag of potting soil is about $2. A few spools of ribbon can be purchased at the dollar store. This project can easily be completed in a few hours. I received many compliments on these. I gave these out to people at work, neighbors, friends, and family. Paper Whites are beautiful and smell like heaven!\n\n3.  Make a "Cold Winter Night Kit"\n\nLast year, a friend made "A Cold Winter Night Kit" for her friends and neighbors. Each had a candle (dollar store), cocoa or tea, and a homemade treat (with recipe card). The gifts were loaded into the dollar store baskets, wrapped in tissue paper and tied with curling ribbon. The "A Cold Winter Night Kit" tags were made on a computer (cut out with decorative scissors and decorated with paper punch snowflakes) and tied to the outside. Each gift was personalized to the recipient. The average cost was probably about $3. You can also add $5 video rental cards, coffee mugs, and playing cards or small games.\n\n4.  Coffee Cups\n\nAs ironic as it may sound, sometimes coffee is the best gift to give within a coffee mug. For a friend who can't resist gourmet coffee, this can be a quick and easy gift idea. Simply fill an oversized coffee mug with a small bag or two of specialty gourmet coffee, then add ribbons and a tag. This is an adorable way to give an inexpensive, yet personal gift. Consider adding a specialty spoon along for extra flair as well.\n\n5.  Soaps\n\nIf you need a feminine gift that does not cost a lot, consider filling a pretty coffee mug with little soaps or lotions. You can usually get these for very inexpensive prices at your local bath or beauty store. These are perfect for young girls as well who love to experiment with things like lip gloss and other makeup. Just fill the mug and wrap a little tulle around it along with a ribbon for a feminine look.\n\nI hope something here helps you!

I don't have a recipe for you, but I do have some advice.  I am in the Navy, and have many a care package sent out to me.  Anyone who has ever been overseas will tell you, the postal service, our's and any other country's, doesn't really care about packages.  Think of it about the same as putting your luggage onto a plane.\n\nMy mother, the amazing woman that she is, found a way to protect those baked goodies you want to send.  Otherwise, the individual recieving them, will be given a box of crumbs.\n\nOnce you have baked the cookies, allowed them to cool and are ready to package them, here is what you need to do.\n\nFirst, you need the following items:\n\nBox of wax paper\nSeveral Pringles cans\n\nSecond, individually wrap each cookie in wax paper, as if you were packing your good dishes for a move.\n\nThird, once all of the cookies are wrapped, place each one into the pringles can, like they were a pringle.  Once you have filled the can, tape it up and put it into the box.  Gurauntee you that when the box reaches its destination, the person will be pleasantly suprised with only a few broken cookies and not a bag full of crumbs.

depends, by hand? for just you? about 15$ you can find making supplies at a local candy supply making \nshop. Now on a large scale, about $50,000 for the machine, at least $60,000 for the warehouse to house it all, and maybe around $2,000 a month for ingrediants

I agree w/ you. I don't think a legitimate fundraiser would be selling a pack of m@m's for $3.00. I've never seen anything around where I live. If I've ever bought from someone outside a store it was usually our local highschool band/ cheeleaders or the boy or girlscouts selling for no more that a dollar or two for a box of cookies or candy bars. I know my son's candy that he has sold has never been more than a dollar.

i sell avon which is a similar sceme, i find it hard work at first, as you have to post to every house but once you know which houses order you have your customers. i only post to my known customers throughout the year and all houses again near xmas. its fairly reasonable for a bit of extra cash throughout the year for the hour you put in, definatly worth it at xmas time as orders are up. but all depend on how many customers you have who regulary order. i couldn't make a full time living out of it unless i became a sales leader (further up the lader) recruiting others. i only do it for a bit of holiday spends of xmas. i've been selling for 2 years now so cant be that bad. take a look at avon.uk.com. you might prefer that as there is no outlay (unlike kleeneze) and as long as you want to climb the ladder you can live of it. good luck\n\n\ni also make a small amount on
