Let us face it. Cookies are a favourite with people all over the world irrespective of their ages and their nationality. Cookies say it all! The reason why cookies are so popular is because; they are available in numerous shapes and sizes. They are also available in various flavours like vanilla, chocolate, almond, cinnamon, etc.
Cookie trays are generally cookies arranged and decorated on a plate. Putting together a cookie tray is not very difficult, but here are some steps that can speed up the process. They are listed as follows:
Colors: Yes, cookies are generally brown, since they are baked. But try to add a little variety; for instance, filling the cookie centre with jam or some other flavouring preservative will add color to the cookie
Shapes: Cookies are known for their various shapes. Try being a little imaginative when it comes to shaping the cookie. Remember they are your cookies. Shape them the way you want to.
Size matters: Try not to get too carried away by the previous point. Yes, they are your cookies, but remember to maintain some uniformity in the size of the cookie. Not only does it add a semblance of unity to the whole batch, it also ensures the equal distribution of dough
Visual impact: A cookie tray is also about creating a strong visual impact. Arrange the cookies in such a way, that they appear attractive and symmetrical to the eye.
Position: Keep the moist cookies apart from the dried ones. The dried ones will attract the moisture and thereby make them stale.

One advantage that cookie trays have over other decorated food accessories is they are easily accessible at gourmet stores and are very reasonable. So, in case you do not wish to sweat yourself in the kitchen, you can pick one of these gorgeous items from a nearby store and be ready to entertain at a moment's notice.
