What you will need:

Your decorated platter set
Some prepared royal icing in a tipless piping bag in your colour of choice, on the thicker side is best, so somewhere between a pipe consistency and a floral consistency.
A cake board cut to size (ensure this will fit in both your cello bags and your box)
Box of choice
Your bells and whistles, things such as ribbon, tags, the extras that make it pop!

Lets do it, step by step...

The first step may be to cut your cake board to size. I purchase large rectangular slab cake boards and cut them down to size myself. That way I am not search for a million different sized pre cut boards. I can make whatever size I need!

Gently placing each cookie over the icing and securing in place.

Allow icing to dry in open air for an hour or two. Then place inside large cello bag, and seal with heat sealer.

Place the entire sealed platter in your box of choice, close it, bow it, and gift that beauty to someone. you love! If you wanted to make these ahead of time, you can seal them all up as shown, pop them in the freezer in their boxes, then 24 hours before you need them, remove them from the freezer. Let them thaw as is on the counter for 24 hours then you are good to go! If you are going to do this, do not crack the box throughout the freezing process, your cookies could condensate and ruin your hard work!
