the original nara smith never change love you claireeee
omg can you try to recreate the Samoas Girl Scout cookies??? they're sooo good 😩
sticking with chocolate and mint, i'd love to see a peppermint patty recreation if you haven't already done so!
is claire pregnant?
Is anyone else seeing a vertical line on her left thumb? Can a dermatologist comment?
Milanos!!!! 💗💗💗
this is the most excited ive ever been for a claire recreates
Claire's cat making biscuits while Claire is baking!! 🤣
have you guys ever tried recreating dunkaroos? i feel like that would be a fun experiment, especially since their are a couple different classic flavours! thank you for putting out amazing content for us! <3
Claire being with someone who appreciates her work as much as she pours her heart and soul into it is probably my favorite part.
you enjoy what you’re doing but you’re also pushing your own limits – amazing.
Claire reads French?
I love that Harris smelled it before he ate it!
now i’m craving these cookies
The pure chaos of Claire using metric (awesome!) but single-digit and decimal centimeters instead of millimeters like civilized humans is maddening.
Claire using the most random Toyota pen is so relatable…unless its the most low key marketing move
Let's try that tail.
This content is absolutely amazing!! The editing is inventive and so fun! Thank you again, Claire.
i would love to see amos mango peelers gummy candy!! it’s so good
22:14 butter content asmr
It's like the Viennetta of cookies. Maybe next time you could attempt Viennetta:)
Is this for real? I looked up Claire because I missed her videos like this and I was gonna watch an old one, and it's said 2 days ago I'm in heaven!
Oh ive always wanted you to do these!! Probably my favorite cookie that i neglect because my son will eat them all before i get one😂
I wonder if the oil in the original also contributes to them being more tender than crunchy? Butter obvs has better flavor but can dry out more when compared to oil in things like cakes 🤔 these look so good!
Joan is awful
claire please go to the doctor to check your nails!!! i saw some stripes and i could be wrong but better be safe than sorry, love you!!!
Does Claire have a bun in the oven!?
“I’m going to watch it minute by minute” to “well I got distracted” is my favorite lol. Glad to know I’m not alone
I would love to see you tackel the treat "Flødeboller"
Once upon a time i lived these videos. Now its not the same
Recreates recommendation: Little Debbie Swiss Rolls
As she started talking about changing so many variables, I started screaming, “Remember the Krispy Kreme doughnuts!!!”
Would loooove to see you remake the Fig Newton!
You put out such quality videos, Claire.
And Milanos used to be bigger. Another thing affected by shrinkflation.
“What if you try piping from above”
immediately pipes a perfect cookie
From a British viewer, please try recreating Twiglets 😁 you either love them or hate them . 😆
My cat (her name is Twinkles) loves to watch your videos
Came from bon appetit and wanted more Claire. Realized you had a solo channel and celebrated in that fact LOL
I noticed your instagram link on your YouTube about page isn’t valid btw.
