Gingerbread Snowflake Cookie SVG

About this design

This is the cookie that steals the show on a winter cookie plate. The round gingerbread cookie has a soft, wavy edge, and across the front, a large six-armed snowflake is piped in icing. Each arm branches into little side shoots and ends in a rounded tip, and small diamond shapes sit in the center of the flake. It looks like a careful baker spent a long time on it.

The snowflake is a single large icing cut-out with small brown details inside it, which is why the design has nine pieces and eight cut-outs. In the layered version, the whole flake shows the cream backing. Because the cookie is a simple round shape, it passes our cut checks from about 3 inches wide.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches wide. The small brown details inside the snowflake are separate pieces, so weed slowly and keep them in place. For coasters, 4 inches is standard. For felt, choose 5 inches or more.

Step by step: cork coaster set

1. Set the cookie to 4 inches wide and download the color SVG.
2. Cut four backings from white adhesive vinyl and four design layers from brown.
3. Apply each white backing to a 4-inch round cork coaster.
4. Line up the brown layer on top and press it down with a scraper.
5. Seal the top with a clear spray or a coat of decoupage glue.

Color ideas

• Brown with cream icing, the classic
• Brown with pale blue icing for an icy look
• Blue with white for a winter wonderland
• Gold glitter with white for a party

Good to know

Because the cookie is round, this design fits neatly into round blanks such as wood slices, round ornaments, coasters and cake toppers. Size it about a quarter of an inch smaller than the blank so a thin border of the blank shows around the edge.

Variations to try

• Use the editor’s “cut the design out of the shape” option with a square for a tile.
• Add the editor’s offset border for a round sticker.
