◆ Cookie dough
Four cutters that build a gingerbread house: two gables, a side wall and a roof panel, with the door and windows cut in the same press.
A gingerbread house you can build, not just a house-shaped cookie: a front gable with an arched door and two windows, a back gable with a round attic window, a side wall with two windows (cut it twice) and a roof panel (cut it twice). The panels are drawn to fit each other, the gables 90 mm wide and 100 mm to the ridge, the side walls 100 mm long and the roof panels long enough to overhang both ends, so the house stands about 10 cm tall once it is glued together. Good for Christmas, advent weekends, family baking days, school holiday crafts and gingerbread house parties.
All four were made with our free cookie cutter generator, not modelled by hand: we drew each panel to size and uploaded it with Cut detail into cutter switched on, so the windows and the door are blades inside the cutter and come out in the same press. The zip holds exactly what the tool gives you, one STL per panel (a 0.8 mm blade, 14 mm tall, with a 4 mm rim to press on), plus each drawing as an SVG. The panels come out 90 x 100 mm (front wall with door and windows), 90 x 100 mm (back wall with windows), 100 x 60 mm (side wall with windows) and 112 x 66 mm (roof panel).
Gingerbread spreads a little in the oven. Lay the cutter back over each panel straight after baking, while it is still soft, and trim round it with a knife: the edges come out straight again and the walls meet without gaps. Bake the door from the piece the front wall cut out and glue it on half open.
The cutters 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 before every press.
Shown as a 3D render of the four printed cutters with a golden gingerbread panel from each, not a photo.
Print each file as exported: the cutter rim flat on the bed with the blade pointing up, no supports.
Wash every cutter in warm soapy water before the first use.
Roll the chilled dough 5 to 6 mm thick on baking paper and cut one front wall, one back wall, two side walls and two roof panels.
Lift the windows and the door out of the panels with the tip of a knife, and bake the door piece alongside.
Bake, then lay each cutter back over its panel while it is still warm and trim the edges straight. Let them cool flat.
Glue the four walls with stiff royal icing, hold them for a few minutes and let them set for an hour.
Add the two roof panels, pipe the ridge, then decorate. Wash the cutters by hand; 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.

The gables are 90 mm wide and 100 mm tall to the ridge and the side walls are 100 mm long, so the finished house is about 10 cm tall with a footprint of roughly 10 x 11 cm, a size that fits on a cake board and bakes on one tray.
Yes. Every panel was drawn to the same scale and the slider on each cutter is set to its own longest side, so the gables, walls and roof meet. Roll the dough to an even thickness and trim the baked panels against the cutter while warm and they line up.
The windows and the door are blades inside each cutter, joined to the outer blade by thin bars that stay above the dough. One press cuts the panel and its openings; lift the little squares out with a knife, or fill the holes with crushed boiled sweets before baking for stained glass windows.
Yes, but change every panel by the same amount or the walls and roof stop meeting. Each drawing is in the zip as an SVG with its Cutter size on the print sheet (100 to 112 mm); upload them to the free cookie cutter generator, switch on Cut detail into cutter, and multiply every size by the same factor.
