I've been looking for some time how to extend cookies in an org-mode file
with loads of TODO's. In my specific case I am writing a book, and this
file has the plan of the book, with each section its own TODO, and ditto
for the chapters. Some of the sections are IN-PROGRESS or DONE, others
still TODO. So its looking like this -

* TODO Universal Herbs 2014 [1/8] [12%] 
** DONE CHAPTER 1 - preface [5/5] [100%]
*** DONE Disclaimer
*** DONE Introduction
*** DONE Please note
*** DONE Acknowledgements
*** DONE About the author
** TODO CHAPTER 2 - preamble [9/11] [81%]
** TODO CHAPTER 3 - Herbs [9/19] [47%]
*** DONE Alfalfa
CLOSED: [2014-07-31 Thu 02:16]
*** TODO Angelica
*** TODO Anise
*** DONE Black Cohosh
CLOSED: [2014-07-31 Thu 02:16]
*** DONE Cannabis
CLOSED: [2014-07-31 Thu 02:16]
*** DONE Chaste Tree/Berry
CLOSED: [2014-07-31 Thu 02:17]
*** TODO Dates
*** TODO Dill
*** DONE Don Quai
CLOSED: [2014-07-31 Thu 02:17]
*** TODO Fennel
*** TODO Fenugreek
*** IN-PROGRESS Ginseng
*** TODO Kudzu
*** TODO Liquorice
*** TODO Motherwort
*** DONE Red Clover
CLOSED: [2014-07-31 Thu 02:17]
*** DONE Sage
CLOSED: [2014-07-31 Thu 02:17]
*** DONE Saw Palmetto
CLOSED: [2014-07-31 Thu 02:18]
*** DONE Soya
CLOSED: [2014-07-31 Thu 02:18]
<snip>

By the first TODO which is the title its showing -  [1/8] [12%] - which
is showing that there are 8 chapters, and its 12% completed. But, is it
possible to also get an overall count of all the sections/TODO's completed 
please?

I've been looking at http://orgmode.org/manual/Checkboxes.html#Checkboxes
and have set up cookies as in that file. I've found "org-checkbox-hierarchical-statistics"
and have set it up here in my "setup-orgmode.el" -
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-checkbox-hierarchical-statistics t)
(setq org-todo-hierarchical-statistics t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
which is not working with my TODO's. I've been trying to evaluate it with "C-c #"
but I can't get it to work.

So is it possible to get an overall impression of my project from its
"TODO/IN-PROGRESS/DONE" states please, using the cookies as above?

Thanks
Sharon.

You would have to use lists instead of headlines and then use checkboxes
on the list entries.  Each of your headlines in your example would be a
list item.

Checkboxes are only for lists.

HTH,
