Holiday Cookie Plates

It is beginning to look alot like Christmas at our house. We have been busy decorating the tree and filling the house with holiday cheer.  Here is an idea for an elegant way to wrap baked goods for friends and family this season....

First choose a color scheme and a theme for your cookie plate.  It could be winter blue and white like this one or something more specific like a Woodland Christmas theme, etc.  Next, gather the following supplies:

Solid colored paper plates
Doilies
Candy wrappers and baking cups in coordinating colors
Cellophane
Ribbon
Gift tags
Small ornaments

Choose cookies and baked goods that complement your theme if possible.  For example the plate shown has snowflake-shaped cookies, white powdered sugar cookies, and others that reflect the winter look of the plate presentation. 

To assemble plates for delivery, place a doily on each of the colored plates, then arrange cookies and baked goods in candy wrappers and baking cups on the plate.  Wrap in cellophane and tie with coordinating ribbons.  Add gift tag and a few ornaments to adorn the package.  Deliver and enjoy!
