The office’s “cookie wizard” is having a tough week because of a nosy coworker. Reddit user TensionRemarkable928 loves baking amazing chocolate chip cookies for everyone, and these cookies are extraordinary. They’re not just any cookies; they’ve been perfected over the years through countless batches.

Baking is a special tradition for many families, much like protecting secret recipes. Think of a grandparent who has spent a lifetime perfecting a soup or bread recipe—they don’t just share it with anyone. It’s about pride and the hard work involved in getting it just right.

However, when the “cookie wizard” refused to share their prized recipe, the coworker reacted poorly, got offended, and started calling OP rude things. You guessed it! She was a Karen!

1. Secret recipes are not meant to be shared.

2. Everyone at the office is a huge fan of OP’s cookies.

3. Everyone is always looking forward to them and gets really excited about the cookies whenever any office event is around the corner.

4. At a recent office event, a coworker, Karen, came up to OP and asked her for the recipe for her infamous cookies.

5. OP had always kept the recipe a secret because of how long it took her to perfect it.

6. OP tried to rationale with Karen after declining but she got angry.

As they always do.

7. Karen blamed OP for ruining the entire charity day.

You don’t call something a secret for no reason. Secrets are not meant to be told. I think this is common sense, but how would Karen know? You need a brain to understand stuff like this.

OP did right by refusing. OP should’ve proceeded to threaten the whole staff by saying she wouldn’t bring cookies ever again if she got asked about the recipe one more time. That would have closed the case very easily.

8. While some sided with OP, others supported Karen’s view.

9. The whole situation confused OP as she wondered whether she should’ve said no to Karen.

10. The matter was taken to the courts of the AITA community.

Here’s what the AITA community had to say about this:

11. Just get rid of the matter and give them a fake recipe.

18. All co-workers would make sure Karen gets kicked out of the office.

19. Watch how they react. I am sure they would all apologize on behalf of Karen just to get the OG cookies back.

20. In such a case, OP must charge Karen’s bank account to the fullest…and still give a fake recipe.
