Cookies for an open house
Graduation open houses have guests coming and going for hours. Individually bagged cookies are ideal because they can sit out on a table, guests can grab one on the way out, and nothing needs to be served or sliced. For open houses, plan roughly one cookie per expected guest. More help is in how many cookies to order.
May fills fast
Graduation season overlaps with Teacher Appreciation Week and Mother's Day, which makes May one of the busiest months of the year. If you want graduation cookies, send your date early. A month or more ahead is not too soon. See how far in advance to order.
