How much would you a piece for these cookies? Is $1 a piece too much?
Are you kidding..I wouldn't do those cookies for a wedding favor for under $3.00.. each.They are a tremendous amount of work!!! By the time you consider packaging,ribbon etc...I wouldn't do them for less but probably more like $5.00 each...but I guess it depends on your area and the economy there and what people are/aren't willing to pay for! JMO 
Wow, $1 a piece? You are way underselling yourself!
I would say $2.50 a piece is a VERY conservative price, but $3 would probably be more like it. Those are quite detailed.
i too struggle with cookie pricing but i've learned to charge what they are worth-the time and detail make them worth more 3-$4 per cookie (and you could probably ask for more with packaging and ribbon or tags) btw those are very cute lvoe them
You should chrage more than that...a lot of people on here usually say $1 per inch...so if it a 4 in cookie, people chrage $4.
Cookies this detailed take a considerable amount of time to decorate. You'll find after you do about a hundred of them that $1 each doesn't even begin to cover your cost.
I'd start them at probably $3 or $3.50. That's a TON of custom, detail work!!!

And by the way - they're GORGEOUS!
I've never sold cookies but I do decorate them. I've seen simple decorated coolies at Chapters for $7.00 each. And I bet they don't taste as good. If people will pay that, I'd agree with the others that $3.00 ea is a good price for a large order.
I'm in Houston, as well, and for a plain monogrammed heart without packaging, I charge $2.50 a piece. For yours, it would be AT LEAST $4.00 a piece without packaging.
That being said, if you are not baking out of a legal commercial kitchen, your costs would be lower than mine, so you could charge less. Definitely dont go less than $3.00 a piece. Your time and talent are worth more than that.
The cookies are GORGEOUS
WOW they are beautiful, a $1.00 OMG you are so selling yourself short. If you did 100 in 8 hrs ( with mixing, baking,decorating, and packaging) I would think it would take longer, but anyways you would only be making 12.50 an hour, and thats not even taking into consideration the cost of ingred. Then consider the word gets out just how awesome your cookies are, and how cheap you sell them for, you have already short changes yourself. Heck I would love to buy them from you for a $1.00 then I'll resell them for $3.00, I made $200.00 and didn't do a darn thing. Please rethink this one. Best of Luck you do GREAT WORK
$1 is way way way too cheap. I agree that $3 is fair but it also depends if it's a 3" or 5" cookie, KWIM?
how long did it take you to make these cookies?
I could be wrong but I don't think she made those. ( Didn't see them in her photos) but they are a gorgeous choice. And they look like they take forever and a bloody day to make.
I almost fell off my stool when I saw the picture and the quote of $1. No less than $3 a piece, seriously. Or are they for a friend and they are to be a gift?
Because if you are only charging $1 per cookie, you are giving someone a really valuable gift.
Yep - those are my cookies!!!!! (thanks yankeegal!!!) I know I'm going to disappoint a lot of people but I only charge $2.50 each for them....$2.75 if individually bagged with curly ribbon. I know, I know, I should be charging more because they're just a bit over 3 inches but I'm close to the $1/inch rule!!! They're really not a lot of work. They're one of those cookies that for me are quick and easy to make.
I have to say I'm thrilled that you all think I should charge more for them. I feel a price increase coming on!!!!!!!!

Add me to the list of people blown away by how gorgeous they are, and that you could definitely charge more! They are so precisely detailed...awesome!
Yes I found these cookies online and just fell in love with them. Thanks for the inspiration and all the advice on pricing.
