How I Print Personalized Cookies with My Eddie Printer

Last winter I got my first-ever airport delivery order — a ski trip cookie set with personalized coffee cups for each family member. I was so excited!

Then the family got sick and couldn’t go.

So you know what we did? We took the cookies on our own trip instead. And I remade their set for Spring Break. That’s the beauty of printing your cookies — reprinting a whole set takes an afternoon, not a week of piping.

Let me show you exactly how I do it, from design to delivery.

Step 1: Find Your Design on Creative Fabrica

Every design in this set (except the Thank You cookie — that one’s mine!) came from the Winter Adventure Clipart Bundle on Creative Fabrica.

I download the PNG files and open them in Silhouette Studio. That’s where the magic starts.

Step 2: Personalize in Silhouette Studio

In Silhouette Studio, I add names to the designs — this is where “Chrissy,” “McKenzie,” and “Neal” got their personalized coffee cups. Silhouette centers text perfectly, which is why I prefer it over other programs for this step.

Here’s the full set laid out in Silhouette Studio. For each design, you’ll see the print image AND the solid black silhouette next to it:

See those dimensions? The coffee cup is highlighted showing 2.777″ wide × 4.003″ tall. Those exact numbers go into CookieCAD (for the cutter) and Swift Publisher (for the Eddie template). It’s the finished size of the baked cookie, roughly.

I always measure the actual baked cookie to make sure I don’t need to tweak anything, but this method is usually spot on.

The black silhouette version is key — I fill the design in a solid color and save it as a separate file. That silhouette becomes the cookie cutter shape:

Step 3: Make the Cookie Cutter in CookieCAD

Upload that solid black silhouette into CookieCAD. Here’s my process:

1. Select “Cutter” from the dropdown at the top
2. Change the size from mm to inches
3. Click the lock icon to unlock it
4. Type in your dimensions from Silhouette Studio

If it’s not a cutter I’ll use very often, I leave all the other settings exactly as they are — easy!

Then I hit Download STL and send the file to my husband, who handles the 3D printing. Here’s what the STL file looks like:

And here’s the finished result — five pink cutters, fresh off the printer!

Here’s the smart part: the coffee cup cutter is reusable! I just swap the names on the Eddie print — Jet, Chrissy, McKenzie, Neal — while using the same physical cutter. One cutter, endless personalization. No need to print a new cutter for every order.

Step 4: Set Up the Eddie Template in Swift Publisher

I use Swift Publisher on my Mac to lay out the designs for the Eddie printer. Each page is one cookie design, sized to match:

Step 5: Print on the Eddie!

Now the fun part. Watch the coffee cups printing — you can see me print the first one, lift it off, and use my printed alignment template to line up the next cup:

And because real life isn’t always perfect — here’s the suitcase blooper where my camera wasn’t lined up!

The Cookies Go on Vacation!

Remember how the family got sick? Well, the cookies still got their ski trip! Here’s the snowman at the Grand Canyon:

He even hiked the Bright Angel Trail:

Ski Santa made it to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park:

And here’s me with the snowman at Delicate Arch!

Santa flew United:

Made it to the snow:

And visited the Colorado River:

The Real Delivery: March at the Jet Center

When Spring Break finally came, I remade the whole set and delivered it to the airport — the Henriksen Jet Center, to be exact!

What a journey — from a Creative Fabrica download to cookies on a private jet!
