I failed geometry in high school. Miserably. I don't even like typing the word because it brings back bad memories. Luckily, as a writer, I don't come across many times where I have to think about geometry.
This is one of those times though: Christmas cookies! Geometry is one of the inspirations for the cookie recipes in the new issue of Gourmet magazine, along with color and texture. Though I think that "nature" would be the better theme, since they say they're dealing with "what we see in nature, whether frost in a field or gemstones gleaming in the sun."
Check out the recipes for Chocolate Hazelnut Crinkle Cookies, Pistachio Cranberry Icebox Cookies, Tea and Honey Crisps, and several others. Some of these might look great used as ornaments for your tree (especially the Gilded Sesame Cookies).
