It depends:

How many cookies
what kind of container

depends on how complicated the cookies are, how many is in the bouquet, what area you live in and what kind of container they're in.

agree with the previous posts. I usually charge $1 per inch...depending also on how detailed the cookie is. What do places/bakers charge in your area?

The price per inch, does that cover just the cookie with the decorations, or does it also would cover the container it goes in?

When I do bouquets, I charge my "by the inch" price for the cookies, and add on $5 - $10 for doing the bouquet. This covers the basket, foam, hassle of baking on sticks, bags, time to put it all together.

I don't sell cookies, but all I can tell you is to check out the Cookies by Design site. They charge $7 a cookie. You will be able to see how they decorate theirs to give you a better idea of how involved they are too. Don't undersell yourself. Time is precious!
