Real Kitchen Moments That Didn't Go as Planned

Halloween Cookies Brought to You by a Self-Described "Grown Man"

The person who posted the photo pretty much nailed it with their caption: "You might think: 'Oh, cute, a child tried to decorate Halloween cookies!' Nope. This was all me. A grown man with a career and no artistic ability." It’s a brutally honest self-critique, but he’s not wrong. The cookies look like something a kid might have whipped up during their first attempt at baking

Still, they’re not the worst we’ve seen—they’re definitely better than most of the other fails on this list. Sure, they might not win any awards for looks, but let’s be real: taste is what really matters, right? We’re betting these cookies were still delicious, even if they weren’t Instagram-worthy. Then again, maybe we’re just being overly optimistic because we’re starving. Who hasn’t had a baking fail or two in their life? At least he owned it with humor, and that’s what makes it relatable. After all, isn’t it the effort that counts, especially during the holiday season?
