Milk and Cookies SVG

The snack that waits up all night

Few pairings are more expected on Christmas Eve, so the drawing keeps it plain. A tapered glass stands on the left with sky blue walls, a tall block of cream milk filling most of it, and a bent red straw sticking up past the rim. On the right, a big chocolate chip cookie overlaps a smaller one tucked behind it, and the chips stay dark and chunky enough to read from across a room.

There are no words anywhere in it. That makes it easy to drop beside lettering of your own, or to use alone where a message would only crowd the space.

Pieces and weeding

Expect 18 pieces and 13 cut-outs from the solid. The glass wall, the milk, the straw, the two cookies and the chips are all kept apart by cut lines, and each chip floats inside its cookie with nothing linking it to the rest. Vinyl lifts as one sheet on transfer tape, and paper stays in order glued down to a backing card. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines, dark cocoa brown: one solid backing cut, seen only in the drawn lines and along a slim border around everything
• Cookie, golden tan: both cookies
• Cream icing, warm off-white: the milk
• Red icing, bright red: the straw
• Blue icing, soft sky blue: the glass
• Chocolate, milk chocolate brown: every chip

The layer names are shared across this cookie collection, which is why the milk shows up in your editor as icing.

A tent card for the Christmas Eve tray

1. Scale the file to 4 inches or wider so the chips are comfortable to handle.
2. Cut dark brown cardstock for the backing, then each remaining color from matching paper.
3. Glue the glass, milk and straw onto the backing, lining up the edges with the brown border.
4. Add the rear cookie, then the front one, and place the chips with tweezers.
5. Mount the finished picture on a folded card, and let the kids write their note to Santa inside.

Good homes for it

• Treat bag stickers for a batch of cookies going to neighbors.
• Mugs with a vinyl decal on the outer side, well below the rim.
• Pajama shirts for little ones, in layered iron-on.
• Cookie exchange invitations, picture up front and details inside.
• Tea towels that hang by the oven all December.

Size guide

Below 2.5 inches, hand the job to Print Then Cut, where the blade only follows the outline.
