Selling cookie dough and other perishable frozen foods can be tricky. But with cooperation and organization, it can bring in significant cash through high-volume sales. Perishable food, especially cookie dough, has become one of the fastest-growing product fundraisers.
When you freeze cookie dough, you want to wrap it well to prevent freezer burn. I stack about 3 layers of frozen cookies, with wax paper (or parchment paper) between each layer and slide them into a Ziploc freezer bag. Squeeze out any air as you seal the bag.
The price for most tubs/boxes of cookies dough ranges from $10 – $16, with a profit margin of 40% – 60%. That means your organization is earning $6 – $8 for each package of cookie dough sold. Decide if that price point is reasonable for families in your community, and don’t forget about the cost of shipping too.
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.
Our scoop‑and‑bake cookie dough makes holiday baking easier than ever. Just scoop our pre-mixed cookie dough onto a cookie sheet, bake it in the oven and get ready to delight your family and friends. But seriously, I can’t think of a better cookie than an oven fresh Mrs. Fields chocholate chip.
How much profit can an edible cookie dough cafe make? Edible cookie dough has a high markup. While this industry is still new, some businesses have a profit margin between 5% and 10%. A highly profitable business would have profit margins exceeding 10%.
Simply lay the number of dough balls tightly on the parchment (I did 3 rows of 4), bring up the ends of the parchment, then fold over about a 1/2 inch, keep folding until you have the parchment snug to the dough. Fold in the ends of the parchment like you would a gift and tuck underneath.
Wrap each cookie in plastic wrap or wax paper. Fill the empty areas in the box with crumpled newspaper or plastic foam peanuts, and pack it tight enough to keep the cookies in place. After taping the box, mark it prominently with “Fragile.”
Chill the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Place the solid and cold cookie dough balls into a labeled zipped-top bag– large or small depending on how much dough you have. Label the bag with the month and the baking temperature and place the bag in the freezer. Freeze cookie dough for up to 3 months.

Cookie dough fundraisers are one of the most popular fundraisers for schools, sports, and church groups to raise money. It is the top fundraiser, year after year. For all of our premium cookie dough options, we offer brochures with no upfront cost. We also offer pre-portioned cookie dough and cookie dough mix options.
Use a durable, rigid box or empty tin as a mailing container. Place bubble wrap in the bottom of the container, then line the container with aluminum foil or plastic food wrap that is large enough to wrap over the cookies when the container is full.
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.
How do you price baked goods to sell?
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.
Small (approx 2″) cookies are usually $3 to $4. Medium (approx 3″ – 4″) cookies are usually $5 to $6. Large (approx 4″ – 5″) cookies are usually $6 to $8.
