How it works
- 1
Open a shape
The studio opens with the Christmas tree loaded. The other seven are in the icon gallery under Christmas Cookie Cutters.
- 2
Set the size
Type the size in millimetres. A set in two sizes — say 90 mm and 50 mm — is the easy way to make stacked tree cookies or cookie-and-mini pairs.
- 3
Add a pattern pressed in
Upload a drawing with inner details and raise them in the Polygons tab: the cutter then embosses buttons on the gingerbread man or lines on the stocking as it cuts.
- 4
Download and print
The print check runs first, then the STL downloads. Three STL downloads a month are free; for the whole set, the Maker plan removes the limit.
The shapes
Each outline is our own, drawn for cutting: rounded where dough would tear, and wide enough at every neck — the gingerbread man's, the candy cane's hook — to release cleanly.
- Christmas tree
- Three tiers and a trunk.
- Star
- Five soft points for icing edge to edge.
- Gingerbread man
- Round head, arms out, a wide stance.
- Snowflake
- Six branched arms — best above 70 mm.
- Stocking
- With a cuff to ice in white.
- Candy cane, bell, snowman
- Three more classics for a full tray.
Baking tips for sharp shapes
Roll the dough between two sheets of baking paper, chill it for fifteen minutes, then cut. Cold dough keeps the snowflake's arms and the gingerbread man's fingers sharp in the oven.
Dip the cutter in flour between cuts. For gingerbread, which spreads little, the shapes can go down to about 40 mm; butter shortbread spreads more, so keep it above 60 mm.
Printing
Print cutting edge up, in PLA or PETG. A 0.2 mm layer height, three or four perimeters and 15–20% infill suits almost everything here, and none of it needs supports when printed flat on the bed.
Wash by hand in warm soapy water and dry at once; a dishwasher warps PLA. A cutter used every December is worth reprinting each year — it is cheaper than a coffee.
Questions
Are the Christmas cutters free?
Yes. The cookie-cutter studio is on the free plan with three STL downloads a month; no account is needed to design.
Can I make a cutter from my own Christmas drawing?
Yes. Upload an SVG, PNG or JPG with a bold outline and it is traced into a cutter the same way as the built-in shapes.
What size is best for Christmas cookies?
Around 70–90 mm for cookies you decorate, 40–50 mm for a tin of small ones. The same shape can be downloaded at several sizes.
Do you have a Christmas advent calendar too?
Yes — the puzzle advent calendar in the Sets tab: 24 numbered boxes, each with a puzzle that gets harder every day.
