Christmas Tree Farm Truck Cookie Cutter Set
Just added to the shop for this Valentine season is this Christmas Tree Farm Cookie Cutter Set.
It's available in regular, small, and mini sizes. For this tutorial, I'm decorating the REGULAR size cookies.
This truck set is designed to be in two separate cookie parts so you can change out the back of the truck with different holidays.
Cookie Templates for the Christmas Tree Farm Truck Set
To help with the decorating process, I made a PDF template available for this Christmas farm truck cookie set.
You can download these cookie templates HERE.
If you have a Kopykake or Pico projector, just print it out (or pull it up on your mobile device) and you are good to go. For those without a projector, follow the suggested steps below by tracing the design onto the cookie with an edible food marker.
The Cookie Decorating Process
To decorate these Christmas tree truck cookies, you will need the following suggested colors:
- Red icing (I mixed Americolor Super Red with a touch of Americolor Chocolate Brown.)
- Gray icing (I mixed a little touch of Americolor Super Black with fresh icing.)
- Green icing (I mixed Americolor Leaf Green with Lemon Yellow and a touch of Americolor Chocolate Brown.)
- Light Green icing (I mixed a little of the green icing above with more fresh icing.)
- White icing (I used Americolor Bright White.)
- Black icing (I used Americolor Super Black.)
Step 1
For the front of the truck cookie, begin by filling in the window with white icing and the tire section with black icing. Also, add the bumper accent with gray icing. Let this icing set for about 20 minutes.
With red icing, fill in the truck body area, as shown. Next, add the inner wheel detail with white icing and quickly add a dot of gray. Let this icing set up again (about 20 minutes).
Step 2
Once the base layer of icing had time to firm up, add the "bump" over the wheel, as shown. Also add the door handle.
Lastly, when the red icing had more time to set, add the final snowy white details.
Step 3
For the rear of the truck, begin by fill in the wheel, bumper, and tree sections, as shown. Let this icing set (about 20 minutes).
Next, fill in the body of the truck with red icing. Also add the inner wheel detail with white and gray icing like before.
Step 4
Next, add the "bump" above the wheel.
Then add the snowy accents and the tree outlines, as shown.

Cookie Packaging Ideas
For cookie packaging ideas, I listed a few box options in this previous Fall Farm Truck Cookie blog post. It goes over packaging ideas for the various size options available for this farm truck cookie set.
For the REGULAR size, like I used in this post, a 4-piece set would fit nicely in this 8"x8"x1.5" cookie box from BRP Box Shop. The lid is attached to the bottom of the box, which I find convenient.
To help elevate your packaging, we have these rustic Christmas Tree Farm Sign Tags. It's the perfect complement for this truck set.
If you'd prefer to keep things simple like this 2-piece option, I have a box recommendation for that too.
Focusing on just the truck for example, this REGULAR truck set fits perfectly in this 7" x 4 3/8" x 1 1/4" box from BRP.
We hope this tutorial inspires you to create your own Christmas Tree Farm Truck Cookie Set! Whether you’re gifting these cookies to friends and family or adding them to your holiday treat lineup, this design is sure to bring smiles all around. Don’t forget, the interchangeable back piece makes this set perfect for celebrating any occasion beyond Christmas.
