Hi all! Just a hobby baker for fam and friends. I’ve thought about attempting to take on actual sales, but don’t know if I’m at that point yet with skill. Would love some thoughts on this set I did today. If you think they could be worth doing as a small business, how much would you charge for a dozen of these cookies?

Two very important questions when it comes to this subject. How much did it cost you to make? How long did it take you to make?
Depends where you are, but a starting point rule of thumb is $1 per inch of cookie. So a 4 inch cookie is $4. Then add based on complexity, packaging, etc.
These look wonderful, I’d pay for them! The baker I get my son’s birthday cookies from charges $48 per dozen.
My favorite local bakery charges $5-$7 per decorated cookie (I’m in California if that matters).
In NYC they’d be about $7 per cookie based on quotes I got when looking around
