How to Build a Simple Holiday Cookie Board (Using Equation for Sweetness Cookies) 🍪🎄

If you want a holiday dessert that looks impressive but is secretly low-stress, a cookie board is your new best friend! Whether you’re hosting a big family gathering or just want a fun (and dye-free) treat for a cozy night in, here’s how to make a beautiful cookie board using Equation for Sweetness cookies and a few easy extras.

Why Cookie Boards Are the Best Holiday Dessert

Cookie boards are all about variety, sharing, and a little bit of “wow” without any last-minute baking marathons. They’re perfect for parties, potlucks, or even a festive movie night at home.

What to Include

• Equation for Sweetness Cookies:

  Start with a mix of your holiday cookies—individually wrapped cookies, mini sets, and any fun shapes you have on hand.

• DIY Kit Creations:

  Let guests (or kids) decorate a few cookies from a DIY kit and add them to the board for a personal touch.

• Easy Extras:

  Fill in the gaps with fresh fruit (like grapes or berries), squares of chocolate, marshmallows, or a handful of nuts for crunch.

3 Simple Layout Ideas

1. Classic Rows:

   Arrange cookies in neat rows or circles, with extras filling the spaces in between.

2. Cluster & Scatter:

   Pile cookies in the center and scatter extras around the edges for a casual, help-yourself vibe.

3. Themed Corners:

   Group cookies by shape or color in different corners—great for highlighting minis or decorated designs.

Tips for Keeping It Kid-Friendly & Dye-Free

• Use only cookies and candies made with plant-based colors (like all of mine!) to keep things safe for sensitive kiddos.

• Add small bowls of sprinkles from your DIY kits for extra fun.

• Let kids help arrange the board—the more hands, the merrier!
