Recipes are often cited as an example of algorithms encountered in everyday life, but Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories have taken this a step further with their iterative process for producing these tasty-seeming cookies in the pattern of a Sierpiński carpet.
Sadly, they only take the process to the third iteration. I have to assume this is a limitation of the floury medium as they have another post with some stupendous seven-iteration Fimo Sierpiński triangles.
