Start with the the larger cookies that will fill in the center – here we did the raspberry twists since those will take the most space on the board. Arrange them around the board, in an aesthetically pleasing way.

Then add the smaller cookies of different types, stacking them around the other items to give height and visual interest. You can also fan out the cookies individually if desired.

Fill in the open spaces with candied pecans, your favorite holiday candy and any other goodies you have chosen to add.

You can add some additional homemade goodies or more holiday candy in any remaining open spaces or place them in a small bowl or two if you have a bit more space.

You can also place the cookies into different shaped containers and then arrange the containers on the tray with the candy around them.
