Instructions
- Step 1: Plan what cookies to includeStart by deciding which cookies and treats you want to include in your Christmas cookie box. A good mix of flavors, textures, and shapes adds variety and makes the box more visually appealing.
- Step 2: Bake and PrepareNow, get to work baking your chosen cookies and treats. See blog post for list of 80 Christmas cookie recipes. Allow them to cool completely before assembling your box. You can make these ahead of time to save effort and time on the day you assemble your cookie box.A time-saving tip: make your cookie dough ahead of time and keep in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
- Step 3: Gather your SuppliesA sturdy box or tin: You can purchase decorative cookie boxes or simply use a festive tin or a cardboard box that you decorate yourself. I can find boxes at Hobby Lobby, Michael's, JoAnn's, Home Goods, and other home stores. Parchment paper or festive tissue paper.Cupcake liners or mini muffin cups for separating different cookies. Plastic wrap or cellophane bags for packaging individual items.Ribbons, stickers, or labels for decoration. For an extra luxe Christmas cookie box, I love using velvet ribbon.
- Step 4: Assemble Your CookiesLayer parchment paper or festive tissue paper at the bottom of the box to create a decorative base.Place your cookies on the parchment paper, arranging them in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Consider using different levels (stacking) to add dimension and visual interest.For particularly fragile or sticky cookies, use cupcake liners or mini muffin cups to separate them.
- Step 5: Package IndividuallyIf you have cookies that could crumble or stick to each other, package them individually in plastic wrap or cellophane bags. This not only keeps them fresh but also makes them easy to share and enjoy.
- Step 6: Decorate and PersonalizeAdd a personal touch to your Christmas cookie box by decorating it. You can tie a ribbon around the box, attach holiday-themed stickers, or create a custom label with a heartfelt message or a list of the treats inside.
- Step 7: PresentationOnce your box is beautifully arranged and decorated, close it up and consider adding a handwritten note or a holiday card for an extra special touch.
- Now your Christmas cookie box is ready to be shared. The joy of a Christmas cookie box isn't just in the treats themselves but in the love and care you put into creating it. Enjoy the process and the happiness it brings to others!
