i must look pathetic at work or something. last week i made snickerdoodles for the ladies i visit teach and brought the leftovers to work the next day. i have brought cookies to work a few other times but don't do it too often because if the container is sitting on my desk all day i have a hard time not eating cookies all day long. for the past few weeks though, i've been getting hounded by the guys in sales to bring cookies {"what? no cookies today" or "when you gonna bring in some more cookies?"} finally one of the guys said he'd even contribute cookie funds to me if i brought cookies on a regular basis. so i finally succumbed. on monday before i left work for the day i asked the guys in sales what kind of cookies they wanted me to bring. the respond was unanimously pumpkin chocolate chip {i thought those were only good in the fall but i guess i was wrong} so i went home monday night and whipped up a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and brought them to work yesterday. they were all gone by 2:00 and i had $7 cash in my pocket, with the promise of more cash today. i'm pretty sure the ingredients didn't cost more than $4, and i bought enought to make at least another batch... i guess i look like i have nothing else exciting in life outside work so the guys decided if i was making cookies after work i wouldn't be such a loser {they're probably right} anyway, i was asked yesterday how much i would charge for a batch of cookies and i didn't know what to say so any suggestions as to pricing let me know.

well, cookies at the bookstore are .39 each, and delicious. I think you could easily charge the same, especially since you can consider the delivery charge of bringing them to them, and also making whatever kind they like.
Remember the economic laws of supply and demand. The more desireable the object the more you can charge. Also scarcity adds to the value. Reel em in and jack it up. Remember Mrs. Fields.
