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.
That pan can fit 21 cookies
It can clearity fit 2⁵ hexagonal cookies!
Isn’t it 2⁵?
Edit: disregard, I’m clearly blind. Or dumb. Or both.
Voronoi cookies!
Sing the song!
🎶 Hexagons are the bestagons
Shame about all the pentagons there.
turn the tray halfway through cooking for god sake
But when I do this all the cookies fall out
how hard are you spinning
But you can get gooey and crunchy in one batch 🤣
I thought that was a shadow 😄
LOL you can see how the back is darker and has this curve. Oven not heating as it should
how do you know that’s the back and not the side?
could also be a shadow?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen any household grade ovens really provide even heat, maybe if you use them with the rotating fan thing, but certainly not in standard mode. You need to spend the big bucks on professional kitchen grade stuff for that.
Bestagon cookies!
Alright, as long as someone commented it!
They’re the hexagreatest!

Hecks a good cookies.
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.
Dude, if you get the nachos stuck together, that’s one nacho.
It’s so dear of you to assume I have friends. That cookie is all mine, sweetie.
What part would you share? The crispy outer edge, or soft chewy center?
The overcooked back half.
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.
Bubbles can move freely once created, so they have more freedom than cookies that are stick in place. Thus, bubbles will look for optimal volume to boundary ratio with less constraints
Thats what i said?
Yes :) since the topic was coming back in another thread, I felt more explanation was nice

Someone hexed those cookies
Du bist eine hexe
The toppings are also cursed.
What have you got against M&M cookies??
Columnar basalt cookies
I wonder what the optimal packing of 17 hexagons looks like
32
Should the target area be square or should it also be a hexagon?
I’ve legit been thinking about this since i posted the comment lol. I think the target area should probably be a minimal regular hexagon, but I honestly dont have the mathematical chops to figure it out myself or to know which would be more interesting.
Intuition tells me to either try to reduce the problem to like convex hull or figure out a reasonable way to generate random packings and just monte carlo it a few million times for a close to optimal solution. A reasonable way to generate random packings feels like it would be way harder to implement than it sounds
I just woke up with my phone on this. My assumption is that remembering that optimal packing thing just caused me to pass oiyt, presumably to protect myself.
Does it haunt your dreams the same way it haunts mine?

This may be my favorite voronoi tesselation.
