You’ve seen all the regular snack boards, now you can add sugar cookies to your Charcuterie Snack Board that look just like the other foods! This would be fantastic for a Super Bowl Party, to make for your favorite host/hostess, or to take to a fancy event when you would rather bring dessert than the snack spread.

The cookies themselves are very simple, but when you put them together on the board it creates a really fun spread that looks just like a charcuterie board, but tastes even better with mini sugar cookies!

Check out the step-by-step video tutorial

I will show you how to make these snack-themed sugar cookies and how to finish them up and arrange them to look just like a delicious charcuterie snack board.

For these cookies, I used my exclusive sugar cookie recipe and royal icing recipe.   The cookie recipe yielded about 35 small/mini cookies.  I like a thicker cookie so I roll out my cookies to 3/8″ using my Cookie Countess Precision Rolling Pin. The thickness of your cookie will change the cookie yield. 

Charcuterie Snack Board

This cookie set includes 5 icing colors using red, ivory, brown, olive green, egg yellow.

Here’s how I made each color:

• Red – Red Red Americolor
• Ivory – Americolor
• Brown – totally brown Cookie Countess
• Olive Green- olive green Cookie Countess
• Egg Yellow – Americolor

Helpful Decorating Tips and Tricks

Cookie Timeline

I like to break up the decorating process over a few days. It works better for my stage of life to do a little each day. Here is a sample timeline to show how long each step takes. 

DAY 1

Make and bake my cookies. I do not chill my dough so usually, this takes about 1 hour from start to finish. Mix royal icing, color, and prep all the icing bags. I like to color the day before because the colors will deepen over time. 

DAY 2

Outline and Flood Cookies. Make sure to allow them to dry in front of a fan for 1-2 hours before adding details. Add final details like airbrushing, piping and stenciling. 

Day 3

Always take pictures of your beautiful cookies. Make sure to allow 10-14 hours of drying time before packaging your cookies. I like to store mine on a baking pan with a lid overnight.
