if there was no room for "errors", how is it possible that there are tens of thousands of different bread and cookie recipes and stuff like that?

Because while the recipes are easy to follow, you can't fix a baked dough. If you messed up the salt, the yeast, etc. that's it. Cooking is more forgiving in that sense.
