Stack of Christmas Cookies SVG

About this design

Most cookies get drawn from above. This one turns the view sideways and treats the batch like a present: four cookies of slightly different widths are piled up with a broad gold ribbon running down the front and a big red bow tied at the top.

From the top down, the icing goes green, red, cream and chocolate. Each cookie is divided into a colored top and a golden underside, so the stack has a tidy striped rhythm you can read even at label size.

Teacher gift

Nothing says “I baked these for you” quite like a ribboned stack, which makes this a good match for end-of-term presents.

• Gift tags tied around a cellophane cookie sleeve.
• Thank-you cards with the stack layered on the front.
• Stickers for a clear cookie box.
• Canvas tote bags in iron-on vinyl for carrying the tin to school.
• Cookie exchange invitations where a plate gets swapped for a plate.

Pieces and weeding

Cutting the solid design gives you 18 pieces along with 2 cut-outs. The ribbon divides each cookie into a left and right side, so most of the pieces are those cookie and icing sections, plus the ribbon and the bow. Almost all of it is separated by cut lines, so lay transfer tape over vinyl, or mount paper parts on a backing card, to keep it lined up. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide.

Long, flat shapes like these weed easily, but the ribbon needs to be set straight, so use it as your guide when you lay the tape.

What is in each layer

• Base and lines in a dark cocoa shade: a solid back piece that surfaces between the shapes and as a narrow edge
• Cookie in light toasted tan: the underside of all four cookies
• Cream icing in vanilla cream: the third cookie’s topping
• Red icing in ribbon red: the second cookie’s topping and the bow
• Green icing in evergreen: the top cookie’s icing
• Gold icing in bright gold: the ribbon
• Chocolate in soft chocolate brown: the icing on the bottom cookie

Size guide

Do not cut this below 2.5 inches, because the slimmest parts stop cutting cleanly. For miniature tags, printing the color design and running Print Then Cut is the better route.

Layering in paper

Work bottom to top so the pile stays aligned. Fix the golden undersides to the base first, add the four bands of icing, then press the ribbon down the center. The bow comes last and covers the top of the ribbon neatly.

Other ribbon choices

• Red ribbon with a green bow
• Plaid-patterned paper in place of the solid gold
• White ribbon and a silver bow over pastel icing
