How Cookies Were MadeMy dad and I followed the recipe and mixed the ingredients in a mixer and created the cookie dough. Then we scooped the cookie dough onto the baking pans and baked the monster cookies for 11 min. at 350 degrees.

Monster Cookie Recipe• 1 ½ cups of brown sugar• 1 ½ cups of white sugar• 1 cup of crisco• 1 cup of butter• 2 eggs• 1 Tb of hot water• 2 tsp of vanilla• 1 tsp of salt• 2 tsp of baking soda• 3 cups of flour• 4 cups of oatmeal• 1 bag of chocolate chips• ¾ bag of mini M&Ms

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Cream sugars, butter, and criscotogether. Add eggs, water, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine salt, baking soda and flour. Add flour mixture slowly to cookie dough. Mix well. Slowly add oatmeal until mixed thoroughly. Add chocolate chips and M&Ms.

Drop by teaspoon on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 11 minutes. Let cool on pan for 1-2 minutes before moving to cooling racks.

The Cost

My dad and I went to the grocery store and researched the prices of the ingredients. We then figured out the cost of how much a batch of cookies would be. Our cookies cost $10.37 for a batch of 50 cookies. We then divided the total cost by the number of cookies. Our cost per cookie is 21 cents.

I am selling my cookies for $1.00 each. After I subtract my cost of ingredients, I will make 79 cents per cookie. I have 40 cookies to sell. If I sell all 40 cookies, I will make $31.00 profit.
