Charlie Brown Cookies {Easy Chevron Print}
For those of you that think chevron is a new trend…think again. The always lovable Charlie Brown has been rocking chevron print for over sixty years now.
I’ve made many chevron cookies and it always involves either a kopykake or a template like THIS. Then a few weeks ago I received these nifty little chevron cutters from Cheap Cookie Cutters and instantly fell in love.
You can make full chevron cookies of course, {Lizy B has a great tutorial HERE} or you can use them to cookiefy Chuck’s iconic threads. It’s as simple as using the cutter to lightly mark the dough.
A light impression is all you need for the marks to be visible after baking.
Once the cookies are cool, simply outline and flood. They work great as a stand alone design {especially if you’re a beginner} but you also can mix them with the rest of the Peanuts crew.
For a little more info on how I made Charlie Brown and friends, check out this post on using a Kopykake projector.

Thank you so much for sharing, you do such great cookies!!!
I want to share a tip to anyone looking for a kk projector, this is the cheapest i found and they have free shipping, and for a couple of days they have a 20% off coupon, check it out!!

I’m still trying to decide whether to buy it or a food color printer…
Something to consider when deciding is that with the edible image printers, the inks dry out very quickly, especially since it is not something you most likely would not be printing on every day…. so it can get expensive to replace the inks. Whereas with the KK the only added expense would be an occasional light bulb. Just a thought.
Agreed! Also, although Jerry’s Artarama has great prices, the Kopykakes are often out of stock. Madison Art Shop has the same great prices AND they have KK’s available now.
Oh Calley I think you killed me!!! what should I do to make my cookies look as perfect as yours?!?!?! 🙂
Any help getting a pattern into a cookie perfectly is always welcome! Love those chevron cutters!
Such an awesome tip!! Those little chevron guides are fabulous. I’ve only made chevrons with a KopyKake, and it is not the easiest task (for me, at least!). This is much better 🙂
Also, thanks so much for the Charlie Brown shout out! I loved making that set!
I love a chevron pattern. It’s one of those things that looks simple to do but is one of the more complicated designs because it has to be exact. That cutter you found sure does fit the bill. Wish I had something like that for use on my glassware 🙂
Adorable cookies Callye!
These are awesome. What a clever idea for a cookie “cutter”
Callye, your cookies always ROCK!
Thank you Hani! I miss you!
So adorable! Truly an inspiration. I love the way you decided to outline only a portion of Woodstock’s fuzzy hair to make it seem fluffy. Did you use vanilla beans or vanilla bean paste in your cookie dough (at first I thought my screen was just dirty!)? I love the vanilla bean paste by Nielsen-Massey, delicious.
Me too! That’s exactly what I used =)
Those cutters are GENIUS! As are your Peanuts cookies!
Thanks for the linky love!
That is one amazing cookie cutter but not as amazing as your Charlie Brown cookies. I adore this set!!!
Agreed! The cutter is way cool, but those cookies are TOO FAB! They’re just perfect replicas. Kudos!
Thanks for the mention Miss Callye!! I just put these chevron cutters in my shopping cart last night! Love how thin they are! And just for the record….Woodstock is my fave!
I was just thinking about the Peanuts gang last night!! How funny! My friend ADORES Snoopy and Woodstock , and I was wondering a way to get them in cookie form since I’m a beginner to cookie-decorating, there are no specific cutters for Snoopy and Woodstock, and I don’t have a fancy Kopycake,
Thanks for this post and for all that you do. You are a very talented person, and I am in awe of your work!
Try Cheap Cookie Cutters or Ebay, they should have a lot. Pre-Kopykake, I made a lot of stencils.
These are so cute! Just as I clicked on your email to check out the post it came on the news that the guy who voices Charlie Brown is headed to rehab. Sad, but I love the cookies.
Oh my goodness! I love Charlie Brown. Thank you for this post. They’re so awesome!
By golly, I love (and have) this chevron cutter too! You make these cookies look so real, they should start talking at anytime!!
Too adorable Calye! And absolutely love the chevron cutters!!
A praivcotove insight! Just what we need!

Hi. I love your peanuts cookies. Can you tell me if you flooded the base and then put the character on top of the flooded base let that dry and then piped a black outline? Or, did you out line the character on the cookie and then flood around it? I am making some for a friend and can’t get the process. Thank you. I appreciate your time.

I would like to say the cookies look great and also could you let me know the size of the cutter you purchessed from the cheap cookie cutter shop? They have 5-6 different sizes and the big one in the photo you show is about the size I need.
Could you give me the size of the distance between each line on the zig zags, it would really help me to purchess the right one.
Thank you!
