I N J U S T 4 M O N T H S W E S O L D 1, 0 0 0 Sign of the 1,000 cookie being sold on 11/13/14

HOW MUCH DID WE MAKE? During the 2014-2015 school year we sold over 1,500 cookie sandwiches at $1 a piece. We profited around $1,000 off of just the cookies 2015-2016 school year (selling only 5in & 10in cookies) we have made about $100 2017-2018 school year (selling wholesale) we have made about $80 so far

HOW TO SELL THEM Direct to students during passing periods (depending on school rules) Allow students and teachers to order cookies and pick up at a later time Works well with 5in and 10in cookies Sell wholesale to other school groups who run concession stands make sure you advertise early to other groups before their concession stands start

S TA RT U P C O S T S - TOTAL: $117 (assuming you have measuring cups, spatula, measuring spoons, cooling racks, mixer, and storage containers for ingredients, an oven, and refrigerator already) With in 2 batches of cookies you should make back your money. (5 batches if you buy the Kitchen Aid mixer)

HOW MUCH TO MAKE 1 COOKIE? One cookie costs about $0.30 to make

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING COOKIES A good hand mixer can be used instead of a stand mixer A deep freezer can make things a lot easier Use a scoop for portioning out the cookies Make cookie dough balls and freeze them. Bake for an extra minute Freeze finished wrapped cookies Scramble and freeze eggs in ice cube trays to keep them fresh longer Freeze heavy cream in ice cube trays too Bake on parchment paper for the cookies to spread out, bake on silicone mat for the cookie to be more puffy Sell 5in cookies for $5 (I found silicone molds at Dollar Tree) Sell 10in cookies for $20 (I use a cheesecake pan) Use return address labels to make a tag for each cookie Store ingredients in plastic storage containers to keep them fresh and bug free

TIPS To package cupcakes use a clear plastic cup and a plastic treat bag Put cupcake liners on the top of the jar for a decoration Use the sticker labels that come with the jars or make your own hanging labels Instead of piping on the frosting for the cupcake bath bombs just use a ice cream scoop and place a large scoop on top

OTHER MONEY MAKERS WE HAVE TRIED Homecoming Court: For the last two years my class has run the voting for homecoming court. We purchase the sashes and crowns and make a little profit from charging a fee to run for the court Dog Treats: We tried making dog treats last year. We had an issue with some of the treats molding soon after people purchased them. We also had a lot of people sign up their dogs to taste test the items, but very few actually purchased the treats when we had them for sale.
