Snowman Sugar Cookie SVG

Two circles and a very good hat

Stack a small circle on a big one, add a top hat, and you have the friendliest shape in the cookie tin. This snowman wears a chocolate-brown hat with a red band and a red scarf with one end hanging down the front. Two round eyes, two buttons and a gold carrot nose pointing off to the right finish the face.

A narrow strip of tan follows the whole silhouette, hat included, so he looks cut from a single sheet of dough and iced afterward.

For a kids’ baking day

Small helpers can do most of this one with paper. Cut several snowmen at 5 inches and hand out the loose hats, scarves and buttons as a matching game, or let each child glue theirs together and take it home inside a cookie box. The big cream body is also a generous spot to write a child’s name.

Pieces and weeding

Cutting the solid version gives you 11 pieces plus 7 cut-outs: the rim, the body and head, the hat and its band, the scarf, and the small round features and nose. Those parts sit apart once the cut lines are through, so vinyl needs a sheet of transfer tape and paper needs a card behind it. The eyes and nose are the fussy corner to weed. It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines in dark cocoa brown: solid underneath, appearing as the outlines and a fine edge
• Cookie in golden tan: the baked strip around the figure
• Cream icing in warm cream: the head and body
• Red icing in candy red: the hat band and the scarf
• Gold icing in golden yellow: the carrot nose
• Chocolate in warm chocolate brown: the hat, eyes and buttons

Projects with a snowman on them

• Treat bags with the figure stuck on the front as a label.
• Oven mitts dressed up with stacked iron-on layers.
• Recipe cards for a winter cookie swap, one snowman in the corner.
• Greeting cards with a popped-up layer on foam squares.
• Tea towels for a host who already owns too many.

Size guide

Under 3 inches the eyes and buttons get too small for a blade. Printing the color file and using Print Then Cut keeps every detail on tiny labels.

Color ideas

• Navy hat with a silver band for a dressier snowman
• Green scarf and hat band to match a tree-themed plate
• Pure white body on a kraft rim, with black hat and buttons
