Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Your Christmas Cookie Charcuterie
Creating a visually appealing Christmas cookie charcuterie board is not as difficult as you may think. These steps will help you to amaze your guests:
Choose Your Base
The idea is to present the cookies on a beautiful board. Round boards have a festive and rustic feature and rectangular boards provide more space for arranging the cookies. Make sure it is food-safe and large enough for your cookie collection. There is no need for anything extravagant, just make sure that the board is big enough to hold the cookies you are going to display.
Board Ideas:
· Bamboo or wooden charcuterie boards
· Slate dessert boards
· White ceramic platters for a clean aesthetic
· Christmas-themed trays
Select a Variety of Cookies
A great Christmas cookie charcuterie board balances flavours, textures and size. Display 5 – 8 different types of cookies from The Cookie Bar. To make it more festive, you can choose:
· Chocolate chip cookies with festive sprinkles
· Red velvet cookies for a pop of color
· Seasonal limited-edition from The Cookie Bar
Add Christmas Accents
A good cookie charcuterie board blends dessert and décor. Consider adding:
· Nuts: almonds, pistachios, or pecans
· Fruits: strawberries, raspberries
· Chocolate candies or truffles
· Green and red M&Ms
These items fill gaps and help create balance on the board. Keep the décor edible and colour-coordinated to maintain a clean aesthetic.
Arrange with a Purpose
Avoid a cluttered look by leaving some negative space. Group similar cookies together but vary textures and colors around the board.
Serve and enjoy
Pair your cookie charcuterie board with coffee, hot chocolate, or festive drinks. It’s perfect for family gatherings, office parties, or as a thoughtful edible gift.
