DawnM Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Any idea what I can expect to pay for somewhat large (6x6 inch round or shaped) and decorated sugar cookies? I am trying to send some to my son and his housemates. I believe there are 8 young adults and 4 or 5 leaders. I am finding a couple on FB Messenger for around $5 per cookie. Is that about right? Any thoughts? If I am going to get 2 cookies per person for $10, I may just opt to send them a large pizza gift card so they can order pizza. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a text in to someone who would know and will reply when I find out. All I remember was it was too expensive for the purpose I had in mind (for a grad party), even though the lady does gorgeous cookies and it is a reasonable price for her time and effort. I’m sure it was in that neighborhood - $5/cookie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 That's about right, in terms of charge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 The least expensive I can get here--custom icing, simple shape, is $28/dozen, minimum two dozen order, without delivery. If you are in a large enough metro area, google "Custom sugar cookies near me" and you should get a decent return of options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 For large custom cookies, yes, that sounds right. Would the custom decorating have some meaning, or just for pretty? Because I can order fresh frosted sugar cookies and other bakery items from our Walmart or local grocery and have them delivered as a grocery order ($35+). You could do a mix of snacks that way, too. If the decorating was going to have meaning or a fun message, you can do a decorated cake or cookie cake for a lot less than the equivalent amount of cookies, but probably couldn't get it delivered for free. One of the leaders might pick it up if the store is nearby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I just checked and the place we would use has difference prices depending on how detailed/colored the cookies are: https://www.d4dcookies.com/order-cookies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamanthaCarter Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 $5 each sounds right. I’d opt for the PPs suggestion of take out pizza and a batch of homemade choc chip cookies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep wanting to support a friend of mine with a business doing these. But everytime the cost deters me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
