Star Sugar Cookie SVG

One line of piping, one red dot

Five soft points, a flood of gold icing and a single line of cream traced just inside the outline. A red dot marks the middle, placed the way a baker might press a candy into wet icing. Nothing else competes with the shape, so it stays bold at label size and leaves open space beside it for a name or a short message.

Around the outside runs the tan band that never got iced. Keep it for a warm, fresh-from-the-oven look. In the one-color file that band turns into a heavy border, and the piped ring becomes a pair of fine lines echoing the star.

Pieces and weeding

Expect 5 pieces and 4 cut-outs in the solid file. Working inward you meet the baked rim, a band of gold, the cream ring, the big gold center and the red dot. Thin cut lines divide them, so lift everything together on transfer tape, or glue the set down on a backing card, before anything drifts out of place. Weed the long ring slowly at the points. It passes our cut checks from about 2 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines in dark cocoa brown: a solid backing, visible as every line and a slim outer edge
• Cookie in golden tan: the un-iced rim
• Cream icing in warm cream: the piped ring
• Red icing in cherry red: the center dot
• Gold icing in golden yellow: the outer band of icing and the large star inside the ring

Place cards for a cookie exchange

Stars repeat well, which makes them handy when a whole table needs matching pieces.

1. Size each star at 4 inches so the ring has some body to it.
2. Cut the backing in dark brown card, the rim in tan, both gold parts in yellow and the ring in cream.
3. Glue up from the bottom, finishing with the red dot.
4. Write a guest’s name in marker across the gold center.

Good homes for it

• Stickers to seal bakery boxes and wax paper parcels.
• Gift tags threaded onto a tin of shortbread.
• Mugs in permanent vinyl for the host of the swap.
• Kitchen signs with the star large and a family name below.

Size guide

Anything narrower than 2 inches is a job for the printer rather than the blade.

Color ideas

• Pale silver-gray icing with a blue center for a wintry tray
• Red icing, cream ring and a gold dot for a bolder plate
• Kraft rim, white ring, and foil for the center alone

Our walkthrough on editing SVG colors covers swapping any of these in.
