Lands End sells these really amazing cookies for $20 for 1lb. To me that is a ridiculous amount to spend on cookies or almost anything else for that matter.
I use Nabisco Famous Wafers (chocolate wafer cookies in a yellow package, sold in our Kroger near the ice cream cones) for $3.99 for 40 cookies, I dip these in white chocolate, a half a pound of chocolate goes a LONG way. and add pulverized candy canes to the top, or other varieties of sprinkles.
A pound of MY crunchy cookies cost a mere $6 and would be less if I ordered the cookies in bulk or found them on sale, the chocolate cost me 1.79 for 1 lb, so 89 cents, the candy canes, I use the mini ones, cost 1.50 and I use half the package so they are 75 cents. $5.63 divided by at least 3 people who I give these out to (40 cookies is too much for any one family especially when used as part of a NO Bake Cookie tray) I package them on plates with Reynolds wrap so altogether this recipe costs me $1.87 per family.
Three other cookie recipes complete the tray and I have never seen anyone unhappy.
