Christmas Cookies Tray

How to Assemble a Christmas Cookie Tray

We began by lining a 9×13 sized wooden tray with parchment paper to protect the tray and to provide a food safe base for the cookies.

Then, we stacked multiples of each of our favorite Christmas cookies into the prepared tray. Some were placed inside parchment cupcake liners to hold them together, some were tied with baker’s twine and others were simply nestled alongside one another within the tray.

Next, we placed sprigs of greenery in the cookie tray to make the cookie tray even more festive. For the greenery, we recommend using food-safe greenery, such as rosemary, fig leaves, or other herbs. You can also use artificial greenery as we did in ours.
