How much should I charge for a dozen homemade cookies? You might have to round up each cookie to at least 60 cents or about $7 per dozen in order to not just avoid losing money but make a sweet and tidy profit. Check out your competition for pricing ideas.
In short, you should plan to charge between $2 and $6.50 per cookie, or between $8 and $15 per dozen if you choose to sell your cookies in bulk. When setting your pricing, you should consider the cost of both the ingredients and baking equipment, as well as your time, and complexity of the cookie.
Pricing is always a challenge since consumers don’t expect to be paying upwards of $4 for one cookie if they’re not already aware of time that goes into making each one. When I was selling cookies, I charged anywhere from $4, $18 or up to $23 a piece depending on the design.
How do you package cookies? Put bubble wrap over the cookies. Then bring the lengths of aluminum foil or plastic food wrap up and over the contents. Pack the tin or container in a heavy cardboard box that is large enough to allow two inches of cushion between the container and the box.
It’s possible to turn a nice profit when you’re selling a hundred cookies at a time. As long as you can make them in close proximity to the event, shelf-life isn’t an issue.
How do you price baked goods?
Your prices should cover your cost of goods sold, or COGS, at the very minimum. The formula to calculate your COGS is: Cost per serving + Labor cost per item + Variable Costs + Fixed costs + Startup costs.
