The Hot Cookie USB Mug Warmer Looks Like a Giant OREO

So how do you eat your OREO cookies? I like to carefully disassemble mine, scoop the creamy filling out with my bottom teeth, then eat the two chocolate cookies individually. The way I figure it, it’s like eating three cookies for the price (and calories) of one. While I really enjoy my sandwich cookie ritual, I’ve never thought about keeping my coffee warm with one.

Novelty gift maker Just Mustard makes this USB-powered mug warmer that looks just like an oversize OREO, though it says “Mustard” so they don’t have to pay Nabisco. Which makes me wonder… can you patent a cookie? I’m not sure. Of course, an OREO filled with mustard sounds disgusting, so try not to think about it that way. I guess it could be worse, and that white stuff could be mayonnaise. Also, don’t try and dip this cookie in milk, or you’ll end up electrocuting yourself.

If you can resist the temptation to bite into this giant-sized not-an-OREO cookie, you can grab this USB mug warmer over on Amazon (affiliate link) for about $18.

Eating a cookie of the future made with recycled bread

There's plenty of food to go around, but most of it is left rotting in the back of our cupboards rather than in the hands of those who need it. Imagine the scenes at a bakery at the end of a slow day, its shelves packed high with bread that's rapidly...

The CHiP Cookie Oven Is a Keurig for Cookies

Keurigs are possibly the most wasteful gadget we could have in our homes. The plastic from all of those overpriced coffee pods just makes me cringe. I’m not a fan. Well, get ready for a Cookie Keurig. That’s right. SideChef just launched a Kickstarter campaign for a Wi-Fi-connected cookie oven. For real.

The CHiP countertop oven is designed to bake just a small batch of cookies, and SideChef will sell cookie dough pods that each contain enough for a single cookie. It’s essentially an EZ-Bake oven for adults.

You use the Chip’s app to scan the QR code on the package of dough, and the app will send baking instructions to the Chip via Wi-Fi. Pop the dough ball out of the pods and into the Chip. Its 4-inch convection fan circulates hot air and bakes up to four cookies in less than 10 minutes. The app will send you a notification when it’s done. You can also use the app to send CookieGrams, which are basically videos of you eating cookies. Now that’s just going to piss off those who don’t have cookies.

SideChef estimates that the retail price for the Chip to be $249(USD), however 500 lucky folks who want to get in early can preorder the oven for $99(USD) during the Kickstarter campaign. SideChef will sell subscriptions for its cookie dough pods with prices ranging from 88 cents to $2 a pod. What do you think? Does anyone really need this?

This Batman Cookie Is Articulated: Holy Shoulder Sockets Batman!

This amazing Batman cookie isn’t just edible. It’s also movable! This cool cookie actually has articulated joints. Granted, it doesn’t move much, but enough to make Batman do a little dance before you eat him.

This cookie features Batman in his gray and black costume with a yellow and black Batman symbol and matching utility belt.It was made by Yankee Girl Yummies and is bigger than it looks. It is about eighteen inches tall and has moveable arms and legs. Even the joints are edible, since they used licorice to hold the pieces together.

All of the details are awesome, but all I can think about is how the Caped Cookie Crusader tastes.

LEGO Mindstorms Machine Ices Holiday Cookies

Cookies and LEGO are two of my favorite things, so naturally I wish I had this LEGO set that puts icing on your holiday cookies. The EV3 Cookie Icing Machine was built by Jason and Kristal of JK Brickworks.

The machine will ice holiday cookies with star, angel and snowflake designs, making it easy to decorate Christmas treats. If you want to build one for yourself, you can follow their directions here. Icing cookies by hand is so last century.

Check out the fun infomercial that the couple made for their invention. Too bad it isn’t a real product. They would be raking in the dough.
