Santa's Ho Ho Ho, stacked three lines high in a bold script and pressed into a round cookie. The cutter cuts the circle and the stamp drops inside it and presses the letters in. Good for Christmas parties, the plate of cookies left out for Santa, Christmas cookie boxes and school Christmas fairs. The cookie comes out about 79 mm across.

Made with our free cookie cutter generator, not modelled by hand: we picked its Text mode, typed Ho Ho Ho on 3 lines in the Casual Script font, and set a round frame with 7 mm of padding round the words. The STL in the zip is exactly what the tool gives you: the round cutter (a 0.8 mm blade, 14 mm tall, with a 4 mm rim to press on) and, next to it, the stamp that fits inside it, with the letters raised and mirrored so they press into the cookie the right way round. Both print flat, with no supports.

Dust the baked cookies with icing sugar through a fine sieve, then blow gently across them. The sugar stays in the pressed letters and the words turn white.

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 cutter and the stamp, and baking paper
  • About 20 g of PLA or PETG, ideally a food-contact filament

How to use it

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

  2. Wash both parts 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 the blade in flour, press straight down with your palm on the rim, and lift.

  5. Dust the stamp, press it letters down into each cut cookie about 2 mm deep, and lift it straight up.

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

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

Questions about this design

What dough works best with the Ho Ho Ho cookie stamp?

A no-spread sugar cookie or a firm gingerbread, with little or no baking powder. Dough that rises fills the lettering back in; chilled, low-rise dough keeps every loop of the script sharp after baking.

Can I leave the Ho Ho Ho cookies out for Santa?

That is what they are for. Bake a plate on Christmas Eve, dust them with icing sugar so the letters show, and leave one with a bite taken out next to an empty glass of milk for the morning.

Can I put my own words on the Ho Ho Ho cookie stamp?

Yes, that is how this one was made. Open the free cookie cutter generator, pick Text, type your words one line per row and choose a font; a round frame gives the same round cutter. This one is Ho Ho Ho in Casual Script, text size 58 mm, 7 mm of padding.
