I often wonder if I am over- or under-pricing myself on cookies, especially, but sometimes on my cakes, too. I have found it's kind of like selling houses: the market will bear what the market will bear. If mom was happy with the results and thrilled to pay you with no complaints, then you did just fine. You might have been able to get a little more for them, but why? Better to start in a ballpark the client is comfortable in than to take them to Yankee Stadium with pricing and have them upset with you forever (and the negative word-of-mouth publicity that goes with it). And, ultimately, was the little girl happy, too? If so, then I think you've got a winning combination there.
Your cookies are very cute and nicely executed. I would expect that in NJ you could get more for the cookies, but then again, I don't exactly know what the economy is like there. Here in Mid-Michigan, you would have had an extremely happy customer who would come back time and again. I hope the same for you.
Nice job!

The Client doesn't generally understand the creative process we go through to make them a gorgeous confection ... it really IS more than "just" butter, eggs, and flour!
