Cookie Inspector SVG

About this design

Every holiday baking session needs someone to check the cookies, very thoroughly. This design gives them a title: COOKIE in chunky rounded capitals, with “Inspector” in a bold, slightly retro script underneath. A round chocolate chip cookie sits at the end of the first line, with five chip-shaped holes cut out of it.

The cookie’s chips are real cut-outs, so in a layered design the color underneath shows through as chocolate chips. The design has thirteen pieces and eleven holes, most of them the cookie chips and the letter holes in the O’s.

Color layers

• Lettering in green as the base, including the cookie outline
• Cookie in golden brown on top, with the chips cut out

Projects

• Kids’ baking aprons. Iron-on vinyl on a child’s apron.
• Pajama shirts for Christmas cookie night.
• Cookie jar labels. Permanent vinyl on a glass jar.
• Treat bags for cookie swaps.
• Oven mitts in heat-resistant iron-on (check the vinyl’s rating).
• Cookie decorating party favors.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches wide. The cookie chips are small holes; at small sizes, weed them with a fine hook before the rest. On aprons, 7 to 8 inches wide fits a child’s apron and 9 inches an adult’s.

Step by step: layered kids’ apron

1. Set the design to 7 inches wide and download the color SVG.
2. Mirror and cut the lettering from green iron-on vinyl and the cookie from tan or brown.
3. Press the green layer for a few seconds and peel the carrier.
4. Place the brown cookie on top, lining up with its outline, and press again.
5. The green base shows through the chip holes, or cut a small dark brown piece to place under the cookie for chocolate-colored chips.

Font note

Both lines are open-licensed fonts converted to shapes, so the design cuts as shown with nothing to install.

Color ideas

• Red lettering with a tan cookie on a white apron
• Black lettering with a gold cookie on a red shirt
• Navy lettering with a light brown cookie on gray

Variations to try

• Put the design in a circle background with the editor for a jar lid label.
• Add an offset border for a sticker.

Good to know

For real chocolate-chip colors, cut the cookie from tan vinyl and place a small square of dark brown vinyl underneath before you press it.
