Sing the song!
🎶 Hexagons are the bestagons
ONE. That’s how many cookies fit on that tray.
If you’re feeling generous you could break off some sections of your one cookie for your friends.
What part would you share? The crispy outer edge, or soft chewy center?
The overcooked back half.
It’s so dear of you to assume I have friends. That cookie is all mine, sweetie.
That pan can fit 21 cookies
It can clearly fit 2⁵ hexagonal cookies!
Isn’t it 2⁵?
Edit: disregard, I’m clearly blind. Or dumb. Or both.
This only happened because they laid them in rows of 5-4-5-4.
Yeah, it happens when you pack the circles as densely as possible. If you place them in a grid, they will expand to a grid.
I think that depends on the fiction between each item / cell, and the plane.
I think soap bubbles for example will always form hexagons.
This may be my favorite voronoi tesselation.
I love making chocolate chip cookies, and have refined my technique so a batch of dough fills my two baking sheets perfectly without them smooshing together. The two tricks are using a little more flour and baking soda than the recipe says, so they’re a little fluffier and don’t spread out so much, and consistent ball size.
I just fill the pan and use cookie cutters after they’re baked.
I eat the scraps.
btw anyone know what the onset signs of diabetes is?
Can also put the tray with cookies on it in the freezer, that can help keep them from spreading as much! Then throw it in the oven from frozen like. Or…firmed up like.
Interesting, but just using a little more flour and baking soda seems simpler.
I do both! I like very thick cookies though.
LOL you can see how the back is darker and has this curve. Oven not heating as it should
turn the tray halfway through cooking for god sake
But when I do this all the cookies fall out
how hard are you spinning
I thought that was a shadow 😄
I wonder what the optimal packing of 17 hexagons looks like
32
Close hexagonal packing. Rigid cylinders will approximate this as well.
Voronoi cookies!
Cookie Catan!
Annnnd now I’m baking cookies
Shame about all the pentagons there.
Off to make some hexacookies. Who wants one?
