Let’s continue with the simple Christmas cookie designs, shall we? This cookie platter can feed a crowd {or a couple very sugar craving holiday goers} and have a wow-factor by arranging them just right.
There are only three simple cookie shapes here that I’m sure even the most occasional baker has in the back of the cupboard.
Tree shape?
Check.
Ornaments?
Check.
Glitz for the top?
Check.
All together the platter was made with 30 cookies: 25 trees, 4 ornaments and 1 star. Of course you should make extras in case you want a fuller tree, or like to munch as you bake. Someone has to taste test, right? And none of them needs to be painstakingly decorated. I used only five colors and made this gingerbread dough by Sweetopia. Oh my heck, it’s soooo good!
I think I’ll try this project with the kids. By putting their own spin on the individual cookies, it will be great to see how it all comes together once they are piled up. With all the baking I have planned from now until Christmas Eve, it will be nice to have some helpers for a change.

Aaaahhh, how cute!!! I just put first coat on trees, wreaths, stars, bells and ornaments!!! Making one of SB’s poinsettia platters. Wish I’d seen this first…I would have made a tree platter…maybe next year!! Love making the simple shapes. –Katy
Thanks Katy! You need to start a FB page because I would love to see all that has been coming out of your cookie workshop! 🙂
Clever and cute as always. Hope your holidays are as fun as your cookie ideas!
I love this Melissa, I think making things easier on us, is a great ideal. And I always have to make extras because the hubby will eat them all if I don’t, plus I have to test them to.
Well, we all have to test them, right?! I especially have a hard time keeping my hands off the gingerbread. It’s SOOO good!
