How to make a Cookie Dessert Board

Cookies are the perfect party desserts so next time you’re planning a dessert table, make a cookie board! Instead of serving different platters of cookies, you can easily put together a big charcuterie-like board with cookies – and your guests will love it.

What is a Cookie Dessert Board?

Basically, this is a way to serve dessert, rather than an actual recipe. Normally at a party you’ll see a big table with different platters of foods or desserts and this is a fun way to combine them all in one place.

• Great for a potluck – use a few different kinds of cookies when you take dessert to a party!
• Flavors everyone loves – add different flavors to please different tastes!
• A great excuse to make different kinds of cookies!

This cookie dessert board is inspired by the dessert boards in one of my favorite new cookbooks, Dessert Boards, by my friend Kellie Hemmerly of the blog The Surburban Soapbox.
