Realistic Science cookies

I've done some cutesy science cookies in the past, but being a scientist doesn't usually involve very many test tubes and beakers.  Since I was a scientist in my former life, I get a kick out of merging cookies and real-life science :)  Here are a few of my recent attempts!

These were a Christmas gift for a biotech group that included some of the equipment that they use: tanks, chromatography columns, bioreactors.  I also created some HPLC and cell viability curves and some schematics of the molecule that they work on :)

These cookies were actually a gift for my husband's team who work on the Gardasil vaccine.  The silly little men are actually cartoon versions of the HPV molecules that the vaccine targets (which just goes to show that I can turn anything into a cookie, LOL!).  The other cookies are filters and other products that they use in the process to make the vaccine.

And finally, a gift box for a scientist that included more chromatograms and a Soxhlet extractor that he uses in his lab!

Science Cookies

How fun are these colors for a science-themed 7th birthday party?!  I loved the atoms, test tubes and flasks that the birthday girl requested.

I also recently created these science-themed cookies for a PhD graduation party.  More test tubes and flasks, as well as beakers.  The customer also requested some periodic table elements, which I LOVED!

Here's a few of the elements, in (very) loose periodic table order:

As a former scientist, I always get a kick out of making science cookies :)

Science cookies

I recently had a really fun request for some science-themed cookies.  Those of you who know me know that my "real" job is a scientist, so I was excited to make these!

The cookies were a gift for a Notre Dame lab to celebrate a grant that they were recently awarded.  Read more for descriptions of what these cookies actually are!
