OXO’s Cookie Press lets you mass-pump perfectly shaped cookie-treats

Much better than any cookie-cutter you’ll ever use, OXO’s Cookie Press doesn’t cut cookies, it pumps or extrudes them. The Cookie Press is a hand-operated cookie-pumping machine that relies on a stainless-steel die to push out intricately formed cookies with speed and consistency. Just load the die-disc of your choice into the Cookie Press’s base and fill the cylinder with cookie dough (your dough needs to be neither too wet nor too dry) and attach the pumping handle on top and you’re ready to go. The Cookie Press comes with a rubberized non-friction base so that the device doesn’t slip as you pump out cookie after cookie, and OXO’s die-discs offer the ability to make some beautifully shaped cookies for all seasons (you’ve got flowers, seashells, snowflakes, even a Christmas tree). The Cookie Press is faster to operate than traditional cookie-cutters, and works without generating the waste a cookie-cutter would, with all its discarded edges. It’s just perfect, really…!

Game of Thrones House Sigil OREOs: Diabetes Is Coming

Whether you are a Lannister, a Stark or any of the others fighting for the Iron Throne, can’t we just stop the bickering and all agree that Oreos are delicious? We all have that in common, right? So let’s just get along. Good. Now let’s just all enjoy these limited-edition Game of Thrones OREOs. There’s plenty for everyone. Well, yeah it’s a limited edition. Hey, stop fighting! I know they will sell out quick but- put that mace away! What do you mean you need an army to raid the grocery store? Damn you guys really love your cookies.

Like just about everyone else, OREO is taking advantage of the hype for the final season of Game of Thrones, but they are doing it how they do it best: by giving us cool cookies… and then taking them away. Bastards. Each cookie has either a sigil for House Lannister, House Targaryen or House Stark, or a Night King head embossed onto one side.

To celebrate the release of said cookies, Nabisco worked with Elastic – the same guys who created the actual Game of Thrones opening sequence, to make a version entirely out of OREO cookies:

Try not to go war over these Game of Thrones cookies to win your place on the throne.
