Decorated cookies, custom

[DawnM]

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.

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.

Yes, this is about right.

That's about right, in terms of charge.

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.

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.

I just checked and the place we would use has difference prices depending on how detailed/colored the cookies are:

I would like to have a music theme as they are doing a lot of music performing.  They are all musicians.

$5 each sounds right. I’d opt for the PPs suggestion of take out pizza and a batch of homemade choc chip cookies.

That sounds about right. I keep wanting to support a friend of mine with a business doing these. But everytime the cost deters me.
