    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?

      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.

    Close hexagonal packing. Rigid cylinders will approximate this as well.

    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.
