Sing the song!

🎶 Hexagons are the bestagons

LOL you can see how the back is darker and has this curve. Oven not heating as it should

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 5 points 6 days ago

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?

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

how do you know that's the back and not the side?

[-] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

turn the tray halfway through cooking for god sake

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago

But when I do this all the cookies fall out

I think asking which axis would be the question

[-] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago

I thought that was a shadow 😄

[-] Patches@ttrpg.network 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

But you can get gooey and crunchy in one batch 🤣

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

That pan can fit 21 cookies

[-] Opisek@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It can clearly fit 2⁵ hexagonal cookies!

[-] sauce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Isn't it 2⁵?

Edit: disregard, I'm clearly blind. Or dumb. Or both.

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Voronoi cookies!

[-] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Shame about all the pentagons there.

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.

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

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?

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Interesting, but just using a little more flour and baking soda seems simpler.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I do both! I like very thick cookies though.

[-] Hirom@beehaw.org 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I suspect having round shape pushing against each other isn't enought to get a hex shape.

In the picture, cookies are tiled such that those in the center are surrounded by 6 other cookies and have a hex shape. Others are surrounded by 2 to 4 cookies and are not hex. So it probably has to do with the tiling.

[-] Landless2029@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Cookie Catan!

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I wonder if this relates to them having six legs somehow. Like, they're able to measure where the next hex should be based on leg length and direction or something.

[-] Hoimo@ani.social 8 points 6 days ago

The bee doesn't have to know anything about numbers to make the honeycomb. All it needs to know is how big to make the circle (bee-sized) and where the circle should be (touching two other circles). From there, the hexagons form naturally.

Alright, as long as someone commented it!

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days ago

Dude, if you get the nachos stuck together, that's one nacho.

[-] bhamlin@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

It's so dear of you to assume I have friends. That cookie is all mine, sweetie.
