Substance Designer - Christmas Cookies

In my continued pursuit of learning Substance Designer, I decided to bake up some festive Christmas cookies for the holiday season! Done 100% directly in Designer, and inspired in part by these Halloween Pumpkin Cookies I saw by Ishan Verma. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/nEwDqO
I wanted to practice introducing dynamic components, so the heart of this material is a Christmas Cookie Generator with exposed parameters that lets you create a whole bunch of variations of four basic cookie shapes. There are definitely still some "hard-coded" components, but I really enjoyed trying to abstract pieces out into reusable, parameterized chunks!

Some of the different variations you can make with the generator

The "doneness" parameter affects how long the cookie has been baking
