Cookie Catan!
Sing the song!
🎶 Hexagons are the bestagons
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.
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.
Voronoi cookies!
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 think asking which axis would be the question
But you can get gooey and crunchy in one batch 🤣
I thought that was a shadow 😄
Bestagon cookies!
Alright, as long as someone commented it!
They’re the hexagreatest!

Hecks a good cookies.
Shame about all the pentagons there.
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.
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?
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.
could also be a shadow?
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
This may be my favorite voronoi tesselation.
I wonder what the optimal packing of 17 hexagons looks like
32
I just woke up with my phone on this. My assumption is that remembering that optimal packing thing just caused me to pass out, presumably to protect myself.
Does it haunt your dreams the same way it haunts mine?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
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
