HOW MUCH DID WE MAKE?

•We profited around $1,000 off of just the cookies

• 2015-2016 school year (selling only 5in & 10in cookies) we have made about $100

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

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.
