burnt cookies
Black baking failure
Burnt cookies are cookies that have been baked too long, resulting in darkened, bitter, or hardened results.
The phrase often appears in contexts of kitchen mishaps or learning to bake: The smoke alarm went off because of the burnt cookies.
Figuratively, burnt cookies can represent failed attempts or disappointment—something that should have been sweet but wasn't.
