Quite simply a bed of pins that can be individually extended down based on a pattern from the built in computer.
Once the shape is dialed in, a press of a button extends the outline.
After cutting out your cookie a second press of the button retracts the pins and the perfect shape falls on the
baking sheet.
You could even write things on the cookies, like a mid-day reminder to pick up more cookie making ingredients....

These systems could run DRM to make sure no one is cutting Oreo or Pepperidge Farms knockoffs. |
|
| |
Conceivably, simple mechanical versions could be made using a cam or swash arrangement with a dial on the back of the cookie cutter to change pin arrangements and cookie shapes. |

(Why isn't "cooky" the singular?) |
|
| |
Cooky is a kooky spelling of cookie. |

What shape would the pins be and how would they be moved? magnets? individual arms? air pressure? electrical current? |
|
| |
What would the resolution be? Would i get 300 dpi cookies? How would the mechanism be cleaned, and what about clogging? |
|
| |
Round pins, and a low power magnetic system with a ZIF socket style locking mechanism could work, and if the bed of pins was able to seperate it could be washed. |
|
| |
Just like printers, I'm sure the DPI will increase as the technology is developed. |
|
| |
I had one of these before I upgraded. My laser cookie cutter bakes while it's cutting. |
|
| |
Whereas my plasma arc version just tends to leave a smoking mess. Not got it set up quite right yet. |

The HP Sprinkle-Jet would be a good addition. |

is this a hand-held model? would the
counter-top USB model be bigger than
a breadbox? wouldn't dough always get
jammed? there could be a hopper for
dough, which is fed between
adjustable rollers for consistency. then
the rollers pass the dough sheets under
the pins. out pop perforated dough
sheets. just pick up the excelsior and
throw it back in the top. |

Hand held, with a USB cradle for design transfer and charging. |
|
| |
The pin mechanism can be seperated from the electronic portion of the device. |
