Hi-

I have the potential to make some money by baking cookies for nursing inservices at our hospital. The pharmacist that is doing them brings treats with her. She is looking at about a dozen cookies per floor, and so I am looking at maybe 12 or 13 dozen cookies.

My question is this: How do I price these? They are not decorated. Just eatin' cookies. Do I use the 3x ingredients formula? Since I'm not decorating them it seems high to me, so I thought I'd ask you guys.

TIA!

The ingredients for my snickerdoodles cost me less than 20 cents per dozen and I sell them for $4.50 a dozen. Peanut butter cookies cost is about 32 cents a dozen and those also sell for $4.50 a dozen. Please note this is ingredient cost only .... not factored in electricity and time, etc. When we tell people $4.50 a dozen, we usually get a response of "Really? Is that all?" Add'l info is on our cookie website, if you want to check it out (see link in signature below).

I usually get 4.50 dozen on what I call standard cookies, i.e. sugar, chocolate chip, peanut butter, etc. On cookies with nuts, coconut, raisins and such I get 5.00 a dozen. If they are specialty cookies, like thumbprints, spritz, wedding cookies, melting moments, filled etc, I get 6.00 per dozen.
