A Little Math Can Streamline Holiday Cookie Making
SHARE

Are you tired of wasting time and dough when making holiday cookies? Well, a little math might just be the solution you need. Making cookies can be a labor-intensive process, but with the help of some mathematical principles, you can streamline the cookie-making process and reduce waste this holiday season.

When our children were young, my family and I spent a lot of time in the kitchen together. We used these moments to not only bond but also to teach our kids about various scientific concepts like heat, temperature, chemical reactions, and more. We also incorporated math into our baking activities, using it to explore concepts like weights, measures, areas, and volumes.

One issue we encountered while baking cookies was the inefficiency of traditional cookie cutters. They often left gaps between shapes, resulting in leftover dough that needed to be rerolled. This process was time-consuming and required chilling the dough repeatedly. We knew there had to be a better way to divide the dough to minimize waste.

That’s when I remembered the concept of tilings and tessellations from mathematics. These terms refer to covering a surface with geometric shapes without any overlaps or gaps. I began searching for tessellating cookie cutters and discovered that custom shapes could be created using 3D printers. This opened up a world of possibilities, allowing us to use shapes like triangles, rectangles, and irregular pentagons to create unique tessellating patterns for our cookies.

One of the challenges we faced was finding shapes that could tile a plane aperiodically, meaning they could create non-repeating patterns. In 2023, mathematicians discovered the elusive aperiodic monotile known as “the Hat,” which opened up new possibilities for creating unique cookie cutter shapes. These shapes, like chevrons and spectres, could be used to tile dough in beautiful and efficient patterns, minimizing waste and maximizing creativity.

By using tessellating cookie cutters based on mathematical principles, you can make the cookie-making process more efficient and enjoyable. Not only will you save time and reduce waste, but you can also use this opportunity to educate your children about the wonders of science and math. So why not invest in a tessellating cookie cutter this holiday season and make your baking experience a fun and educational one for the whole family?

As we continue to bake and cook during the holidays, let’s embrace the magic of math and science in our kitchens. Whether it’s with our children or grandchildren, using tessellating cookie cutters can not only streamline the baking process but also spark curiosity and learning along the way.

Remember, a little math can go a long way in making your holiday baking experience more efficient and enjoyable. Let’s celebrate the wonders of math and science in every cookie we bake.
