Lego Rolling Cookie Cutter Makes Lego Brick Treats

Danny Allen — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 04:28:35 EDT

I used to chew Lego all the time as a kid, so a cookie roller that imprints 2x2 Lego bricks sounds tasty. It's got a stainless steel handle and silicon grip, and can be picked up for $10. [Lego]

Lego also has some cool-looking $8 Minifig cookie cutters, but don't tell Lego Santa.

Death Star Cookie Jar Keeps Sweets Safe From Everything But the Force

Rosa Golijan — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 22:00:00 EDT

I've been told that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, so the next time I'm trying to charm a Star Wars fan, I'll present him with some tasty treats in this Death Star cookie jar.

Not only is this the cheapest Death Star around at only $49.99, but it will also "double as a festive ice cooler or candy bowl at your next Star Wars soiree." Available for pre-order now and shipping September 2009 it should melt the hearts of even the cruelest Sith Lords. [Star Wars Shop]

iPhoto Discovers Face in Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Mark Wilson — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 16:20:00 EDT

iPhoto's face detection isn't perfect, but we can't blame the software for spotting a face in this unbaked batch of cookies.

I mean, c'mon, it looks like just a teddy bear! And maybe a teddy bear face doesn't constitute a human face to some of you in the audience, but I like to think that our world has grown beyond such prejudices. I like to believe that we live in a world in which any face can be considered a face.

The only way this iPhone spot could have been better is if it found the Virgin Mary in a burnt piece of bread. It'll happen. Just give it time. [Flickr via Geekologie]

No One Knew Jesus Would Come Back As a Cookie

Hobomodo Review: I Sold My Identity for Free TiVo Cookie Cutters

Erica Ho — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 22:30:00 EST

As an intern for Gizmodo, hobomodos have become my favorite part of our daily gadget deals: my marketing information in exchange for free TiVo cookie cutters? It's yours before you can even say "leaky faucet."

Whether these hobomodos ever show up are highly questionable-so imagine my surprise when my free TiVo cookie cutters showed up just in time for the holiday baking season! The TiVo cookie cutter arrived in a plastic bag, accompanied by a recipe courtesy of TiVo.

Prep Time: 1-3 minutes
Cook Time: Bake Time may vary
Level: Beginner
Serves: The entire family, plus as many friends as you can fit into the living room.
1 TiVo (HD or standard)
HD recommeded for sweeter taste buds, SD for those counting calories
2 tsp. of the Emmy award-winning TiVo service
2 cups movies from Netflix or Amazon Video on Demand
Pinch of universal Swivel search
Dash of YouTube videos
1 cup music from Rhapsody
1/2 cup personal photo slideshow
1/4 tsp. BaDoop BaDoop Show
Handful of play, pause, rewind and fast-forward

The next step was the hardest task: what type of cookies would my stepmother enjoy with her milk? Chocolate with walnuts? Sugar? Arsenic? Fortunately, a very helpful Miss Betty Crocker helped me limit my choices and I eventually settled on sugar. Employing several ~~slaves~~ toddler hands in my quest for the perfect TiVo cookie, I then embarked on my journey.

I'm not quite sure whether it was the dough mix or because I've never made shaped cookies before but I had a frustrating time using the cookie cutter initially. I eventually resorted to letting the dough cook for a little bit before I pulled them back out and used the cookie cutter. I'd then stick them back in the oven to let them finish. Two batches later, including a few ones that deliciously tasted like carbon, I managed to make a few cookies actually resembled the TiVo.. uh, "fish." I can't cook, but bake things full of lard? Oh yes, I can.

TV? Check. Cookies? Check. Marketing spam to replace the credit card offers I used to receive? Done. [TiVo at Gizmodo, special thanks to Kayla, Cassidy, Jenna and Maddy!]

Brando's Chicken, Pork, Pizza and Watermelon USB Drives Are Phenomenally Delicious

Jason Chen — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:40:00 EDT

It's been a while since Solid Alliance charmed us with their food-shaped USB drives, but Brando's shot back with edible-looking disks of their own. At our count, there's chicken, hot wings, a slab of pork, a pizza slice, a burger, a watermelon slice, a strawberry, cookies and biscuits—all lifelike enough that your kid would accidentally put it in his mouth. Best of all, these hold 4GB worth of junk and cost only $28. Has anyone made a bacon USB drive yet? Huge gallery after the jump.

Fat White Guy: I shouldn't even give you coffee.

Heard while: waiting for a latte. Congratulations, Fat White Guy, you're internet famous.

The Birthday Gadget Cookie Basket

Jason Chen — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 18:00:41 EDT

Reader Jeremy's mother knows about his obsession with gadgets, which is why she sent him a gift basket full of gadget cookies for his birthday. The only thing she could have done better would be to include some modern gadgets like the iPhone or a TiVo, but her heart's in the right place.

Jeremy agrees:

cookie gadgets for my birthday!! only thing that would have made them better is if the phone was an iphone and not some 90's version flip phone.

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

Single Cookie Jar

johnb — Tue, 15 Nov 2005 10:37:21 EST

This is perfect for the shut-in in your life. It's an art project, really, but it is a commentary on the blah-de-blah of the blah-blah-blah and the singular nature of the bloo-blah-blah. In reality, it's a very small cookie kit cast in ceramic and it makes just one tiny cookie. You could see it as a scathing call to arms for the bloo bloo blah to blah blah establishment, but whatever.
