I am planning on charging $8 for each package. Is that too much? The cookies are between 1.5-2 inches. They’re mini cookies for Teacher Appreciation. I have lots of interests but a couple people saying, (only 2 literally), saying I can’t see myself paying that much for cookies. But they still might order. I spent over 2 hours just making a dozen. I need feedback please!!!Cookie Pricing

not exactly what you want to hear but just -- the only way to make it work is to have a large order and get a lot faster -- $8 is on the low side but I think the cart is before the horse -- gonna be hard to sell them already made

I’m a big fan of this cookie pricing chart from sweetsugarbelle.  I usually follow it to a tee.

That being said, the cookies on the left would be about $1.25/50 per cookie while most of the ones on the right would be $2. 

Nor sure if that helps at all....

Cookie pricing is just one of those things. All of my minis are $2.00 per for basic design. If they want fondant details, price goes up. Your packaging is cute, and without knowing extra details, $8 per pack could be low, could be spot on. You can say these are x price and these are y price, and the customer is going to want to know why they're priced different lol I wouldn't worry about those 2 people. People that don't bake and decorate for a living will never understand. 

There's a bakery around the corner that offers buttercream cookies for .75 each, but they can't do in buttercream what I can do with Royal. If you're comfortable with your price, go with it.
