...tto as standalone exclamation

This isn't the most pressing question, but I've read two separate manga recently that use ...っと as a standalone utterance. It doesn't follow a previous statement (by either the speaker or another party), so it's not used to denote a quotation. It seems to be made in situations where the speaker is self-satisfied or smug. Would anyone out there have any insight?
Thanks for any help.

"tto" is shortened from "etto, otto, atto", etc. and are "oh, uh, ya, etc."

I'll take that, then, as a self-satisifed "hm."

I would say that it's more like a shortened "dekita-tto" which means something like "There. Done."
