A rustic wooden board holding warm, soft-baked chocolate chip cookies with golden edges and melty chocolate chips, dusted lightly with powdered sugar, arranged neatly next to a torn piece of paper with a handwritten 'Sorry' note and a small wilted wildflower, set against a desaturated post-apocalyptic backdrop with soft natural light and subtle decay textures
