A customer called the other day, and was AWE struck at the cost of a sugar cookie.
“$2.50? …For a COOKIE?”
Yes- At least! Step by Step as to why.
Scratch made dough (10 min) Refrigerate dough (30 min) roll and cut dough in shapes (15-30 min) bake cookies (8 min) let cool and make icing (15 min), and finally the decorating.
Depending on the detailing on the cookie (is it the eiffel tower or a rock?) once we invest that much time in a cookie, you cannot have it for free. If it takes me 2-3 hrs to make the cookies, and then we bag them and wrap them in ribbon, do I really think $2.50 is even fair? Nah, not really. It’s not enough AT ALL.
