Fall leaves cookie cutter set with stamps

Six autumn leaf cookie cutters with vein stamps: maple, oak, ginkgo, birch, sweetgum and linden.

Six real tree leaves for an autumn baking day: a maple with its three big lobes, a wavy oak leaf, a fan-shaped ginkgo with the notch in its edge, a pointed birch leaf, a star-shaped sweetgum and a heart-shaped linden. Every cutter has a stamp that presses the leaf's own veins into the cut cookie, so a tray of plain dough already looks like a pile of fallen leaves. Good for autumn baking, Thanksgiving tables, harvest festivals, back-to-school treats and fall weddings.

All six were made with our free cookie cutter generator, not modelled by hand: we drew each shape with its stamp's lines inside it and uploaded it with Generate stamp switched on. The zip holds exactly what the tool gives you, one STL per shape with the cutter (a 0.8 mm blade, 14 mm tall, with a 4 mm rim to press on) and its stamp side by side, plus each drawing as an SVG. The cookies come out 90 x 88 mm (maple leaf), 65 x 90 mm (oak leaf), 85 x 74 mm (ginkgo leaf), 51 x 85 mm (birch leaf), 81 x 90 mm (sweetgum leaf) and 74 x 85 mm (linden leaf).

Split one batch of dough into three and knead a little cocoa into one and a few drops of red and yellow colouring into the others, then press scraps of two colours together before rolling: every leaf comes out marbled like a real one turning, and the stamped veins show through without any icing.

The cutters and stamps print flat with no supports, in PLA or PETG. A cutter touches dough for a minute, but a 3D print has fine layer grooves where crumbs can sit: pick a food-contact filament if you can, wash each part by hand in warm soapy water before and after use, never in a dishwasher, and flour the blade and stamp before every press.

Fall leaves cookie cutter set with stamps at a glance: every printed part with its size, print time, filament, print settings and the three steps to use it

What you need

4
  • Rolled cookie dough that holds its shape: sugar cookie, shortbread or gingerbread, with little or no baking powder
  • A rolling pin, and two 5 to 6 mm guides for an even thickness
  • Flour or cornflour for dusting the cutters and the stamps, and baking paper
  • About 104 g of PLA or PETG for the whole set, ideally a food-contact filament

How to use it

7
  1. Print each file as exported: the cutter rim flat on the bed with the blade pointing up, and its stamp beside it, no supports.

  2. Wash every part in warm soapy water before the first use.

  3. Roll the chilled dough 5 to 6 mm thick between two sheets of baking paper.

  4. Dip a cutter's blade in flour, press straight down with your palm on the rim, and lift.

  5. Dust its stamp, press it into each cookie that cutter cut, about 2 mm deep, and lift it straight up.

  6. Chill the stamped cookies for ten minutes, then bake.

  7. Wash the parts by hand straight after use and let them dry. PLA softens in a dishwasher.

Food contact: the cutter only touches dough briefly, but layer lines hold residue. Print it in a food-contact filament, wash it by hand in warm water, and keep it away from the dishwasher. Food-safe guide.

Questions about this design

Which leaves are in the fall leaves cookie cutter set?

Six: a maple leaf, an oak leaf, a ginkgo leaf, a birch leaf, a sweetgum leaf and a linden leaf. Each cutter has a stamp that presses that leaf's midrib and side veins into the cookie, and the ginkgo stamp draws its fan of fine veins.

Can I decorate the fall leaves cookie cutter set cookies without icing?

Yes. Brush the stamped leaves with beaten egg before baking and the veins stay paler than the glazed surface, or dust them with cinnamon sugar. A marbled dough in red, orange and brown needs nothing on top at all.

Do the fall leaves cookie cutters work on pie crust and fondant?

They do. Cut leaves from chilled pie dough, press the stamp in lightly and lay them over the edge of a pie before it goes in the oven. On rolled fondant the stamp leaves crisp veins you can dust with gold or bronze lustre.

Can I make the cutters in the fall leaves cookie cutter set bigger or smaller?

Yes. Every drawing is in the zip as an SVG: upload one to the free cookie cutter generator, switch on Generate stamp and move the Cutter size slider (these are 85 to 90 mm). The stamp scales with its cutter, so its lines still fit the cookie.
