    I would give them away to all those who are not involved in the medical insurance industry. Those people will have to pay to have me answer the phone to make an appointment, then they would have to pay to enter the door to the building where I am passing them out, and THEN they will need to pay me for the cookie. I would then donate the proceeds to all the folks who had to eat my free cookies because they could not afford the insurance to have their 'ills' resolved by a doctor.

    I'd give them away and give out the recipe so everyone could make them themselves if they want to.

    I would give them away...except to the ones who with hold treatment because of a person's inability to pay the inflated prices for treatment. (drug companies, insurance companies, etc.)

    I would give them to family and friends, then eat one myself. All ills include monetary, so I would no longer be in debt or need money. Then I would start handing them out to others, starting with abused children. I'd also feed them to abused animals. Anyone that was greedy and demanding their cookie ahead of others would have to pay a hefty fine. And I'd NEVER sell the recipe.

    Give them away and suggest that those who have eaten them donate a contribution of either money or their time towards the charity that supports their particular illness.

    You wouldn't have a chance to do either. The FTC and the FDA would find out you were claiming something OTHER than a drug cured a disease, and that's illegal. They would confiscate all your cookies, your baking products, and any correspondence between you and anyone referencing cookies and destroy the lot of it, and if you were lucky enough to not "disappear", you would be placed under an order of silence to not discuss cookies, their ingredients, or ever bake, talk about baking, write about baking, or write about talking about baking ever again.

    I would sell the overpriced cookies in various flavors, along with a an overpriced latte, and a CD with various artist that love my cookies. Then I would donate 10% of the profit to the community( I won;t elaborate exactly how ...but it's going to a good cause which is the most important detail). Maybe if someone bought enough of the cookies, they could get a rewards card that would earn them one free cookie that they could have on the 5th full moon of the every leap year, at participating locations, restrictions would apply of course.

    I would want the whole world to get one ... but I would not want to go bankrupt or run out of money for ingredients, so I would sell them at a price that was proportional to each person's ability to pay ... the very rich would have to pay a huge sum, the very poor would have to pay a tiny amount (or donate some time & effort to help me make & distribute) ... after mass making & global distribution, I would take profits and put it towards solving our other non-illness problems.

    both, if you could not afford to pay, but needed one, i would let it slide (you would just have to keep a secret, cause if you were rich then i would chrage alot) also i would share the money, and prices what be what each person could afford (even if it was 0)

    It would depend entirely on the availability of the ingredients. If there was only a limited amount available, how would anybody decide who got the only two dozen that were ever and would ever be made?

    As long as I could just keep making them, I would give them to anyone who was ill.

    If there were only so many that I could make, then I would likely donate them to a children's hospital, or cancer treatment center.

    Sad but since it all revolves around money if the person needing them was worth a billion I'd ask half a billion per biscuit.
    As per the poor people not being able to pay their bills I'd give them a sack for free so they could then try their luck at selling them.
    But you can bet that if I could produce such biscuits I'd be murdered in no time.

    Toobad for you.

    I would never leave my kitchen. I would sell copies of the recipe to medical companies, and use the profits to keep myself stocked on ingredients. If the red tape on that endeavor became too risky, I would rely solely on donations. A gift like that cannot afford to have a price put on it. I mean think about it - not only am I curing the world of illness... I'm flippin' GIVING AWAY COOKIES!

    I think I would have to make different flavours for different types of ailment - those who were seriously ill and had suffered lots would be top of the list and given for free.

    The price to cure minor ailments would depend on personal circumstance - if you can afford to pay I have to charge as I didn't find anywhere I could get the ingredients for free.

    Now those of you wanting magical cosmetic surgery cookies (purely for aesthetic reasons)are going to pay through the nose (new or old) cause you really don't NEED my cookies you just want them.

    All other ailments/procedures would be up for negotiation!

    A gift like that is meant to be given freely, without any expectation of reward or compensation. It would mean so much to so many. How often do you get the chance to really do something for someone that would mean that much to them freely?

    If it's my recipe, I did the research and work behind it, and manufactured the cookies, then I have every right to sell them on a free market. But this won't happen anytime soon, I'm really more of a candlestick maker and not a baker. The butcher has a store on the corner.
