Reply to "How Long Should It Take to Decorate a Cookie?"

Good question - for me, the time varies considerably depending on cookie design. Obviously, the more intricate the design, the longer it takes. I have been known to spend anywhere from a few minutes to more than an hour to detail a cookie once topcoated. The key to making any money is knowing/recording the labor in your cookies, developing some labor standards for various designs or types of designs, and then pricing accordingly to make a profit margin.
