Christmas Tree Cookie Cutter – Three-Tier Spruce

Christmas Tree Cookie Cutter – Three-Tier Spruce

A classic Christmas tree with three stacked tiers and a sturdy trunk, the shape everyone expects on a holiday cookie plate. The tier tips and inner corners are gently rounded, so the dough releases cleanly and the branch points don’t burn or break off during baking. The tiers give natural guide lines for decorating: pipe garlands along each layer, add sprinkle “ornaments”, or top it with a small star.

Cookie size: about 64 × 85 mm
Cutter size: 73 × 94 × 15 mm

Design features

• 0.8 mm cutting edge on the top 3 mm gives sharp, clean cuts.

• 1.2 mm main wall keeps the cutter rigid when you press it into dough.

• 3.5 mm flange makes pressing comfortable and stiffens the shape.

• The inner blade face sits exactly on the cookie outline, so cookies come out at the designed size.

• Rounded tips and notches between the tiers stop dough from sticking in the corners.

• A wide trunk keeps the base of the cookie from snapping off.

Print settings

• Orientation: flange down, no supports needed.

• Layer height: 0.2 mm.

• Material: PETG recommended (tested with a 0.4 mm nozzle). PLA also works.

• Perimeters: 2–3; the thin edge prints as two perimeters.

• Infill: not critical, since the part is almost entirely walls.

Tips for use

• Lightly flour the cutter before each cut.

• Chill the dough for 15–20 minutes before baking so the tier points stay crisp.

• Roll the dough about 4–6 mm thick.

• The narrow shape nests well on dough, so you can alternate tree directions (point up, point down) to get more cookies from each sheet.

Food safety note
3D-printed parts have small grooves between layers that can trap residue. Hand-wash the cutter in warm (not hot) soapy water and dry it thoroughly. It’s best treated as a seasonal cutter rather than an everyday kitchen tool.
