What's A Cookie Cost?

To purchase a bag or container of cookies, it will likely cost you about $4 for a container that has about 40 cookies in it. Now, this varies depending on the type of cookie that you choose, the location you are in as well as several other factors. But, let's just use it as an average here.

To make the same cookie at home, determine what ingredients you would need and price them at your local store.

• Flour: Entire bag will cost you less than $2, but you probably will only use about $.75 worth.
• Chocolate Chips: One bag, $1.29
• Butter, One pound package is $2, but you only need half at $1
• Spices, oil and eggs, let's round to being $1 total.

Did you save anything by making your cookies at home? You probably will make many more than that package. But, there is also something else to consider here. You should also consider the quality of them. There is nothing better than warm cookies from the oven. Since it will only take about 10 minutes to prepare the cookies and another 10 to bake them, this is time you may be able to sneak in.

If you make cookies for your family with them, which the kids will love you for, you'll create a bond that is wonderful for them too. All in all, there are many things you are losing by not making your own cookies at home. What's it really costing you?
