This Christmas cookie charcuterie board is meat-free. A classic charcuterie board, however, may display meat, cheese, and/or fruit. Today, charcuterie boards have evolved into themed presentations: donuts, pies, Christmas cookies, muffins, and candy. TBH is this even a charcuterie board? The perfect cookie charcuterie board is filled with all of your favorite cookies: gingerbread, peanut butter blossoms, decorated sugar cookies, and even store-bought cut and bake ones! A cookie board you can enjoy around a roaring fire, with your family, or by yourself watching your favorite holiday movies.
I wanted to build some kind of charcuterie board for a while. Since we’ve been hunkering down at home for nine months, I thought now would be a good time to tackle this and spread a little bit of Christmas cheer.
Christmas cookie board, where?
The cookie board did not come to fruition. Instead, I just ended up baking sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies and decorating them with royal icing. We used these and peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough in our holiday photo!
This year has been trying. Being home almost 24/7 while working and living hasn’t been easy. But it gave us an opportunity to enjoy the small moments we may otherwise find it harder to rally around. For example, we have been able to enjoy dinner at six o’clock as a family. Usually, we’re leaving work or still en route at six o’clock. We kept it light and easy in our home and this year’s Christmas family photo captures that. Merry Christmas.
Beautiful family pic!!
