My basic cookie box, looks so plain compared to what I see from y’all, but I’m really proud.
Top left to right: ginger bread, butter cut-outs, chocolate balls, Mrs Bommarito’s Italian cookies, Russian tea, PB blossoms, brown butter chocolate chip, polish sugar cookies, split seconds with jam.

I’d be thrilled to be gifted that! They look amazing.
But who is Mrs Bommarito, and what are those cookies? I need to know more!

An important lesson to learn with baked goods is that the prettiest desserts are not necessarily the tastiest ones. So don’t diminish your efforts by comparing your cookie box to something you’d see in r/dessertporn. I value taste over fanciness.
In the end, I would smash the cookies in your picture so fast my parents would feel ashamed (assuming they weren’t stuffing their own faces).

Those plain cookie boxes are the ones that taste the absolute best! I don’t need colors I need flavors.

Not a baker, but I am an eater – gimme a box a cookies instead of a pretty one. I avoid the super decorated cookies as they just taste of too much sugar most of the time. And I’m just going to eat it, so make a good looking cookie, not an art project ya know? Like make it look like yummy food, not a toy lol.
And I really want one of those little sliced ones with jam in the bottom right. They call to me :p. My great grandma made cookies that looked like that when I would visit her 30 years ago.
All that said, if you enjoy going all in on the art part, just know it’s lost on some of us. Neither way in wrong (unless you use fondant) but my preference is for cookies that look like cookies yeah?

Love that you’re all about the taste because when it comes to cookies, it’s all about the flavor and the love you bake into them! I’d totally crush that box of cookies in record time. Merry Christmas and happy baking!

Don’t sell yourself short! Some of us find beauty in the simple, delicious recipes like this! I would destroy these all day! And later, I will do just that to my own! 🙂 Great work!!

I see a wide variety of colors, shapes, textures, and flavors in your box, and I’m really impressed!

Every Christmas, my daughter and I bake a good 1k of cookies over a weekend. Our boxes look somewhat basic in cookie design, but everyone raves about the cookies and asks for the same cookies every year. (But we always incorporate one new item every year) As long as they taste great, you’re good. On the other side… my daughters friend made what I think were sugar cookies and decorated them beautifully. They looked fantastic, fancy AF. I had one bite, and that was one bite too many. I think your boxes look delicious! Great job!!

Hey dont put yourself down, these look so yummy they wouldn’t last 15min with me. Good job🥰

Friend, these look delish! Fancy 20+ ingredient cookies are great for a bite or two but the classics are what keep me coming back to the dessert table.

For me, it’s about the thoughtfulness along with the time spent to create it which means more. They look great!
Own_Usual_7324
I sent my friend a cookie box (he kindly ate it all with no questions lol) and I just couldn’t help but feeling like it didn’t LOOK pretty enough. But everyone who’s tried my cookies insists they taste good. We’re all just our own worst critics. FWIW, I think your cookie box looks delightful and delicious 😋
