We came across these fab chemistry-based cookie cutters and just had to give it a go – all in the name of science of course!

Each set of unique cookie cutters features a test tube, an atom, a conical flask and a beaker – plus the method for making your tasty cookies.

We had lots of fun experimenting with different methods – we found the one sent with the cutters wasn’t so good for keeping the shape of the our cookies, so we tried a different one that involved putting them in the fridge (method here).

Once they were cooked and cooled came the fun part – decorating them. If only they looked as good as the ones at www.sciencecookiecutters.com – all I can say is I tried!

We’ve got a set of Science Cookie Cutters to give away – to be in with a chance of winning, just send your name, address, organisation/institution to phil.prime@laboratorynews.co.uk. Good luck!

Neither were we, but the link from taste.com.au has a much better recipe – they also taste yummy as regular cookies with chocolate chips! Don’t forget to post us your finished cookies – we’d love to see what you’ve done with them!

I’ve been searching for science cutter shapes – these ones pop up all the time. Have you seen any others? Maybe there’s a niche in the cookie cutter market for more?!

- No I haven’t – but I’ll certainly keep an eye out. Let us know if you see any more.
