Steps to Starting a Home-Based Cookie Business

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.

To compute cost on a per cookie basis, I simply divide $48 by the recipe yield (30 cookies) which gives me $1.60 per unit (cookie) for labor. * but don’t forget that Overhead or indirect costs have to be included to price your cookies. Overhead includes both fixed and variable costs.

1. Find out the laws in your state that govern food sales.
2. Decide what types of cookies you want to make.
3. Decide on a business name.
4. Set up your business structure.
5. Write a business and marketing plan.
6. Apply for needed permits and licenses.
7. Price your cookies.

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.
