As a consumer, I would expect to pay no less than a dollar, but probably no more than three dollars, with my inclination to pay closer to three dependent upon how the cookie looks (i.e., nice, crisp shape, or a cookie that spread a bit too much). As a baker, I find that the time I spend baking the cookies is minimal and the ingredient costs low. It's the labor that drives up the cost of a nice cut out decorated cookie.
Thanks everyone! SPC Ohio, that is exactly how I feel! The cookies are nothing to bake and the cost for ingredients is low (especially around the holidays!). I charged $1.00 per cookie and $.50 for a 1/2 cup of frosting (not royal). I'm not making a huge profit which is totally okay! I just wasn't sure how to get the price right so I could do them without being too high to drive away business and too low to screw myself. Thanks again!
AI think a dollar each was a good price to go with because you are not decorating them. Four inches is large so you could probably get away with 1.50 to 2 dollars undecorated. Given that they ordered three hundred, I think the price is fair to you and them.
