Traditionally, you’d eat an Oreo straight of the box, or sometimes very recently dipped in a glass of milk. The people at Oreo felt the need to show that their cookie is more diverse than that, however, so they put it in a bunch of weird recipes and made me eat the result in order to prove something about the future. Gizmodo tried these foods so you don’t have to.
Few things are better than eating a burger and fries, even if it comes from McDonald’s. This might qualify though: a full McDonald’s meal—burger, fries, coke—made completely out of cookies. Everything is somehow a cookie! Made by a Twitter user’s sister who’s presumably a master baker, it’s pretty incredible work. I mean, those fries? That patty? A cookie? Whatever. I want to eat it.

Do you feel like having some delicious cookies today? Since I’m going with the assumption that everyone wants to do good inherently, then you might want to reach for your phone every time you want a cookie – just make sure you install the Girl Scout Cookie Finder app first.
As the name implies, it’s an app that helps you track down locations and dates that Girl Scouts will be selling cookies, by you can get your fill of the delicious treats. You’ll also find the app useful if you’re the gifting type, because you can just give away these boxes of cookie goodness to friends and family, and the happiness will be two-fold: the recipients will be happy to get some sweet treats, and the Girl Scouts will be ever-so-thankful for your support.
Since there are a couple of different companies that produce Girl Scout cookies, you’ll want to go with the official Girl Scout cookie app, which covers them all.

Firefly is one of those classic TV shows that was sadly canceled way too soon. If you are a fan of the series and a fan of fresh, tasty cookies, check this out. ThinkGeek has a set of four Firefly Cookie Cutters.
The series of four cookie cutters goes for $19.99(USD) and includes Mal’s pistol, Jayne’s hat, a browncoat patch, and of course Serenity itself. These are sure to make you the hit of your next cosplay party.
ThinkGeek warns that the cookie cutters work best with a dough recipe that doesn’t rise when cooked. If your dough rises, all the lines that the cutters stamp into the dough will disappear, you would end up with a blob of dough that doesn’t look like what you want – or maybe it’ll turn out looking like a Reaver.
The tastebud teaser Dominique Ansel, he’s the master pastry chef who created the Cronut, has come up with another dessert so brilliant that the Internet is salivating at the mere picture of it and wondering why it didn’t exist before: a chocolate chip cookie milk shot. As in a shot of milk inside a "glass" that’s actually made from a chocolate chip cookie. Can you say "I’d like two dozen, please?"

This year, give her the gift of sugar in the shape of Star Trek things. Her heart will melt. Just ask her if she wants to go on a Data and tell her that Resistance is Futile. My holodeck or yours? Actually, just give her these cookies. Forget the cheesy lines.
These amazingly geeky Star Trek: The Next Generation cookies come from Mike of Semi Sweet Designs. He’s like the suave bearded Riker of baked goods. I love how the uniforms are shaped like hearts. The detail is really great. They even have luster dust on the insignia pieces and disco dust for the transporter beam.
Mike was even kind enough to share details on how to make your own Star Trek cookies. Make it so, number one. Be my Valentine.

Here’s the thing about chocolate chip cookies: they’re delicious. Here’s another thing: unless you’re a professional baker maestro who bakes a batch everyday and tweaks their cookie recipe after every time to adjust the flavor, it’s going to be hard to come up with the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe. It’s a numbers game, you just don’t bake enough to figure out exactly what works. Not anymore. Not with this machine. This is perfection.

Oreo might be trying to push its snack-sized mini cookies with this utterly brilliant way to dunk, but there’s no reason this hack can’t work with full-sized Oreo cookies as well—or any reasonably-sized cookie, for that matter. You’ll of course need access to a clean french press, but the other components—milk and cookies—should be easy to come by.

Hungry? Sorry, you’re outta look. While this box might look like it’s stuffed full of cookies, you’re actually looking at a cool new set of wall hangers.

It’s dangerous to go alone on an empty stomach. Take these. Doesn’t Link look delicious? Legend of Zelda, meet the legend of my hunger. These adorable and beautiful looking cookies were made Trinh Phan aka TheCookieCrave and they really are a geek work of art.
I love how colorful they look and I bet they taste amazing.
And you have to give their maker credit, she could have just posted the photo online, basked in all of our adoration and kept the recipe for herself while she sold them, raking in the Rupees. But no. She has given the world the recipe on her blog so that we can all make them and enjoy.
