Cookie dough ~17 g

A sprig of holly: two scalloped leaves with rounded spikes and a cluster of three berries where they meet. The stamp presses a border line, a vein down each leaf and a ring round each berry, ready for green and red icing. Good for Christmas cookie trays, toppers for a Christmas cake, place settings for Christmas dinner and winter weddings. The cookie comes out about 90 by 53 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.

Roll the dough a little thinner, about 4 mm, and the holly sprigs sit flat on top of a Christmas cake or a tray of mince pies as an edible decoration.

Holly cookie cutter and stamp 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 cutter and the stamp, and baking paper
  • About 17 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 pattern side 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

Will the spikes on the holly cookie burn?

They are rounded rather than pointed, so they bake at the pace of the rest of the cookie. Roll the dough evenly and take the tray out as soon as the tips turn golden; a slightly darker edge on a holly leaf still looks natural.

How do I make the berries on the holly cookies red?

Fill the three pressed rings with red icing, or press a red sugar pearl or half a dried cranberry into each one straight after cutting and bake it in. The rings keep the red off the green leaves.

Can I make the holly cutter bigger or smaller?

Yes. Upload holly.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.
