Up To My Armpits in Cookie Dough
I had this bright idea that it would be good to sell M&M Cookies at a food stall our church is running next week. Our kids always love getting them at Subway so I’m hoping it’ll be something the kids will enjoy.
The thing is, I don’t usually use a recipe when I bake biscuits. Which is okay for the family because if they’re a flop - too bad. But I don’t really want to be cooking the day before our 3 day event and having flops.
So, I’ve been practising (much to my family’s delight).
Different recipes (if you can call them that) or variations of recipes.
And different sizes.
They want to keep all the homebaked goods to the same price. Two years ago it was 50c. This year they’re talking about charging $1. Which makes sense for the cake and the florentines. That’s still a bargain compared to store prices.
So, I want to make sure my biscuits/cookies are a decent enough size that $1 doesn’t seem to be too expensive but not so big that they’re overwhelming for kids.
I think this is a bit too big:
That’s a side plate, not a dinner plate. But it’s still a BIG cookie!!! Mind you, all 3 of my kids came home from school/preschool today and really WANTED the big cookies!!! 
So, what do you think? What size would a cookie/biscuit need to be for you to be happy paying $1 for? Bearing in mind M&M’s aren’t cheap! And this is a “show” of sorts (Field Days) although we try not to be overpriced.
And yes, tomorrow I will share with you the recipe - providing I settle on one. Or maybe I’ll just share with you the different variations and you can decide for yourselves.

Yum - that looks good. I would think that size you have there is probably a great size for a dollar. WIth the prices of food these days, it seems very fair. Now stop tempting me by posting goodies.
That size is perfect.
Don’t throw the M&Ms into the mix if you want to save money. Just dot 5 or 6 on the top. Visual appeal works wonders.
Jack made over $200 when he sold cookies like this at the school. Kids love them.
How many of these cookies could you make for a batch, and what would the cost be for that batch.
I think, at that size, at a dollar you would be sold out in less than an hour! I think they are at least $3 for that in a coffee shop.
Did that help you AT ALL?
I’m thinking that’s a bit too big. About two thirds that size, similar to the subway size ones.
How did they taste?
It’s looks delicious. Good luck at the sale and success with your cookie baking;

I like that big size cookie. They’d sell easily for a dollar. You could make a batch of smaller ones to be sold for fifty cents. For littler kids to buy.
