I made a Christmas Cookie Tree and I have several people that would like to buy it from me. How much should I charge them? Each tree took me 2 hours. I've done it every year and know how to set it up quickly.
My kit that I purchased 5 years ago includes 10 star cookie cutters in graduated sizes from small to large, but I made two same size each and the total cookies for a tree is 20.
Glad to hear you liked my tree - thanks!
wowwwww son hermosas !
???
8 inches (bottom) thru 1 inch (star), meaning there are 8", 7", etc. You need to make two stars each inches. Here's the link for the instruction. Hope this help.

I still need to know what is the good price per cookie tree? I've got one response and it's $30. Do you think that's alot? How about $15? Too low?
I'm still unsure. 
I got $15 for a 9-star tree cello bagged on a china plate. The largest cookie being 5.5in. I used fondant for my icing. Your's is a lot larger so I think $25 would be reasonable.
i just added up what i would charge per cookie on your tree and it would be about $30.00
$2 each for the 5 largest sizes so that would be $20.00
$1.00 each for the 5 smaller ones...so thats 10.00
so i would say that you could even go as high as 35.00 if your market is good...
i was scared when i first started doing my cookies that i was pricing too high but i have discovered that people are willing to pay a higher price from things of this nature..specially if you are the only person around who does this kind of work...im lucky in that way that no one else does this kind of thing so people go nuts over them.
hth
best of luck
Thank you, everyone! I agree with you all and guess what? I'm making more today for the "last minute" orders. Also, "last minute" shopping after I get paid for making trees 
I made some this year that were 13 stars and wrap with cello bag and sold 30 of them at $15.00 each. I agree $30.00 for yours sounds like a good deal.
did you ice the cookies in green icing??? Or just dye the cookie dough?
I green-iced the cookie. It's a messy job in that part, but it's fun. The funny thing is my husband put two cookie sheets full of green icing left-over in the oven to "melt" it for easier clean-up, but apparently, he forgot all about it and our kitchen is all smoky! LOL!
I would agree, $30 is a good price. The trees I make are only from the 6-star (old) set and I have asked $5 each for them.....don't ice each individual cookie, just bake with green sanding sugar and add royal details and M&Ms like little lights (in my pics). I know that is probably too little to charge, but just getting started with selling to co-workers at the office. Next year these may go up to $8, and thinking of dipping the cookies in the sanding sugar to get full coverage on the cookie. Only takes me about 10 minutes to put these together right now so that is another reason for not charging as much as I probalby should.
