If you’ve scrolled through social media lately, chances are you’ve come across the hilariously named Martha-Stewart-Fired-Me Cookies . This viral recipe has taken the internet by storm—not because of its creator’s culinary genius, but because it's deliberately bad . The story goes that these cookies were so poorly made (and taste-tested) during a segment on Martha Stewart’s show that she allegedly "fired" the person responsible. Whether true or not, this quirky recipe is now beloved for its hilarity and utter lack of refinement. Here’s how to make them yourself!
