I'm sure this has been asked many times before...but for those of you that do cut-out NFSC cookies and sell them, how much do you charge? I have someone who may be interested in individually wrapped cookies for a wedding shower favor and I'm not sure what to quote her for a price.
Thanks for your input!
I think a fair price for decorated cookies that are individually packaged is a dollar an inch......if it's a 3" round cookie.......$3 each! You do have to take into consideration the intricacy of the decorations and also the cost of the packaging......I would take that basic figure a dollar an inch and then actually figure out how long each cookie takes you, the cost of the ingredients, the cost of packaging, and how long you will end up spending to make ALL the cookies.....and find out if that's going to give you a good profit??
I charge a dollar an inch. It seems like a lot of money (up to $5 for a single cookie!) but then I think of the time and effort that it takes and I think it's way undercharging! LOL. If it's bagged and tagged, 50¢ extra per cookie. ![]()
Edited to add: I suppose it also depends on the area you live in. Some areas don't support such high prices and some do. ![]()

I'm just starting out with selling cookies. I charge $1.50 per cookie. Might be low, but I did check out some of the local bakeries here and a lg wedding cake cookie was $1.89. I just wanted to get exposure and more experience, and then I may consider raising my prices. But the calls are starting to come in - and people don't know my prices, just have seen the cookies! And I purchased Hobby Lobby brand bags w/ a 40% off coupon and you can also get ribbon on sale for .25 a roll or use curling ribbon. Doesn't have to be real pricey. Sometimes the more elaborate packaging takes away from the cookie! Good luck!
what does the nf before sugar cookie stand for?
I am new to cookies and I always wondered. I am giving someone a cookie taste very soon and I asked the same thing on pricing. Should you charge more if they are decorated in rolled butter cream or fondant?
Sure is but seeing as how CC is having some server problems right now, I'll give you the link to the recipe on kitchengifts
Happy baking!
