At one time when a person went to a bakery shop and ordered a dozen of anything, a baker would include an extra one. That way if the baker miscounted, the person still got their dozen. So if a person ordered a dozen cookies, a person usually got 13 cookies. Sometimes the baker miscounted and gave the person 12. Still this kept the customer from being mad because he only got 11 cookies. He had ordered a dozen and gotten a dozen. So a baker's dozen consists of 13 of an item.
