“What kind of circle packing algorithm are you going to use tonight?”
“Right rectangular lattice.”
youtube is SO not ready for that video.

I’ve always been partial to the inward spiral method, myself. (Now there’s a book opportunity for someone - “what does your cookie-laying method *really* say about you?”)

I make spirals when the cookies cool! I’m a hexagonal packer in the oven, though. Honeycombs and snowflakes can’t be wrong. The oven’s not big enough for the really interesting patterns, but you should see what I do to the dishwasher.
We should totally write the cookie-pattern book. It should be a picture book for toddlers, too.
“Sweetie, can you say ‘tesselation’?”

Perhaps it was a square lattice, but I wasn’t willing to be so precise.
