Cookie Walk Supply List

1. Bakery boxes.  Our customers let us know that they liked the 9" pie boxes best.  We had used smaller, deeper boxes a few times.

2. Paper liners for boxes.

3. Disposable plastic gloves.  If you can't find them, a plastic sandwich bag will work.

4.  An accurate kitchen scale.

5. Crinkle ribbon to tie around the boxes.  This is optional, but it gives a "finished" look.  We also had labels printed with "Christmas Cookie Walk" and the name and address of our church.  We sealed each box with them.  We purchased the labels from a mail order source (500 for approximately $3.).

6.  Lots of Cookies.  1995 was our 5th Annual Christmas Cookie Walk.  We completely sold out over 330 lbs of cookies in 45 minutes, and we made over $3,000.  We know that if we had had twice as many cookies, we could have sold them.

 

Items 1-3 can be found at a bakery wholesaler or food service company.

Hint:  We had free coffee, tea and hot chocolate along with cookie samples at our "Coffee Tables," set up out of the traffic flow.
