This office's "cookie wizard" is having their week ruined by a coworker. It's because u/TensionRemarkable928 enjoys bringing chocolate chip cookies for their coworkers to munch on, and these cookies are next-level. These aren't your average, everyday snacks. These are cookies that this worker has spent ages perfecting, making batch after batch over a period of years.
Cooking and baking is how some families bond. You probably know someone who's overprotective of their family's recipes. Some grandparents spend a lifetime perfecting that soup recipe or getting that loaf of bread to be absolutely perfect. They feel entitled to that information, and won't go spreading it around to any random stranger who asks. It's partially about pride, but it's also about all of the hard work that goes into baking (not to mention how trial-and-error that whole process can be).
This coworker had an odd reaction to the cookie wizard's refusal to share the famous cookie recipe. Instead of just acting like a normal person and going online to find the recipe with the most 5-star reviews and then making that, this coworker had to push their colleague to share. In the comments, people told u/TensionRemarkable928 exactly what recipes they should give to their nosy coworker instead!
