I got a receipe on here for Millie's style cookies - very nice and should sell well.

Twinks HobNobs! Maybe vary the recipe with muesli which came out very well. For shortbread you could turn it into millionaire's shortbread if you can be bothered. Fruit or cheese mini-scones

The Millie's Cookies are lovely, and you could do one big batch of dough but vary it with different additions. I've done almond and cherry, dark choc, smarties, cherry and chocolate etc.

I usually do traybakes which look good and don't need much fuss. Make a sponge mix and bake it in a roasting tin. When cold spread with white icing and then loads of coloured sprinkles. We call that one the fairy cake cake. Or make chocolate sponge, spread with chocolate icing and grate White chocolate on top. Or coconut icing with lime zest in it..... You get the idea. Then just slice it up mr kipling style and you are done. Looks good but it's simple enough.

I agree with traybakes or what about weetabix cake, shortbread covered in chocolate, good old victoria sponge, swiss roll, apple scones, cheese straws, cheese scones, and if you can make bread - chelsea buns, hot cross buns, danish pastries

refrigerator cake, yum yum...loads of recipes if you Google it, here's one.....http://www.scotlandforvisitors.com/recipes/chocolatecake1.php

I'd recommend leaving out nuts though in case of allergies.

I vote for a batch of Twinks and Flapjack. Both staples in this house and always requested by various peeps at the school when DD has a bake sale. Both really quick and simple to do - a bonus for me...

Delia Smith's recipe for gingernuts is good and doesn't use a lot of expensive ingredients.
I used to make small buns in mini-muffin tins for my children's school cake sales. You get loads of buns from one batch of mixture-4 oz marg, 4 oz caster sugar, 2 eggs and 4 oz SR flour. I would bake half the batch plain and ice them and then add a few currants to the remaining mixture. You can do lots of different coloured icing with just a few food colours and top them with jelly tots or smarties.

Rice crispy treats - just melt a big bag of marshmallows on low heat in a big pot with a knob of butter/marg, then stir in rice crispies until you can't get any more covered with the marshmallow mixture. Turn the mixture into a greased tray, or use a disposable foil tray. Decorate with sweets of your choice, such as smarties, choc chips etc, or mix them in. When cool, cut into slices. Yummy and so very easy!

As stated before traybakes are good. I have a biscuit traybake which you mix raisins and/or mini marshmallows - my wee one likes these or the famous mars bar traybake which was eaten at a kids party today and 2 trays gone.

Another easy receipe which I found was 1 med egg beaten, mix with 3oz of caster sugar into mixture. Stir in 5oz of dessciated coconut. Spoon out into blobs mounds on greaseproof paper on a tray (approx 12) and put in the oven at 180C for 10-12mins. They are nice also.
