◆ Cookie dough
A Christmas light bulb on its screw cap, with a stamp that presses in the thread and a shine line.
One bulb from a string of Christmas lights: a rounded, tapering bulb on a ridged screw cap. The stamp presses a border line, the ridges of the cap and a little shine line on the glass. Good for Christmas cookie boxes, Christmas party trays, cookie exchanges and advent calendars. The cookie comes out about 53 by 90 mm.
Made with our free cookie cutter generator, not modelled by hand: we drew the shape with the stamp's lines inside it, uploaded it to the tool, set the cutter size to 90 mm and switched on Generate stamp. The STL in the zip is exactly what the tool gives you: the cutter (a 0.8 mm blade, 14 mm tall, with a 4 mm rim to press on) and, next to it, the stamp that drops inside the cutter and presses the lines into the cut cookie. Both print flat, with no supports. The drawing is in the zip too, as an SVG, so you can make both bigger or smaller.
Ice each bulb in a different bright colour and lay them in a wavy line on a platter with a piped chocolate "wire" joining the caps: a string of lights people can eat.
Shown as a 3D render of the printed cutter and stamp and two stamped cookies, not a photo.
Print the file as exported: the cutter rim flat on the bed with the blade pointing up, and the stamp beside it, no supports.
Wash both parts in warm soapy water before the first use.
Roll the chilled dough 5 to 6 mm thick between two sheets of baking paper.
Dip the blade in flour, press straight down with your palm on the rim, and lift.
Dust the stamp, press it pattern side down into each cut cookie about 2 mm deep, and lift it straight up.
Chill the stamped cookies for ten minutes, then bake.
Wash both parts by hand straight after use and let them dry. PLA softens in a dishwasher.

Flood the bulbs in bright colours and, while the icing is still wet, dust them with edible glitter, or brush on edible pearl dust once it has set. Leave the pressed shine line white and fill the cap in grey or silver.
The bulb is slim, well under half as wide as it is long, so cut them side by side in alternating directions, cap up and cap down. You get noticeably more from one rolled sheet than with a round cutter of the same length.
Yes. Upload light-bulb.svg from the zip to the free cookie cutter generator, switch on Generate stamp, and move the Cutter size slider (this one is 90 mm). The stamp scales with the cutter, so its lines still fit the cookie.
