Oh my, happy birthday to me!! This is such a treat, thank you Claire!!❤❤
I'm going to pass on this one, I'll catch the next video Claire.
Claire and Sue’s meringue cookies not being on here is a CRIME
i don’t even like cookies, but if Claire posts…damn right i’m going to watch it 😭😭
I'm trying to lose weight 😭😭😭
Congratulations on your pregnancy! A few cookies to celebrate won't hurt 😊
Yes yes yes cookies
☀️ 🍪Thank You 🙏 😋
✝️GOD BLESS YOU 🕊️
I’ve made 3 of these recipes and all three were HITS! I have three grown children & the Pinwheel’s are the favorite!
29:52 Smuckers All Natural for anyone wondering 🙂
High altitude adjustments maybe? At 6500 ft NOTHING bakes correctly.
Aw, old school Claire show! So comforting. xxxx❤😂
Once you try linzers topped with chopped walnuts, you'll never go back. A wash of egg white, and sprinkle with or dip it in a mixture of chopped walnut and confectioner sugar (and vanilla if you have a dry form of it) Toasts in the oven and so delicious.
Is this channel officially dead or what? Two weeks without episodes and now a compilation of past videos? Groundbreaking
Amazing recipes ❤
Thank you for giving us seemingly new content while you are on maternity leave. Please enjoy this time as a new family of 3 humans + kitties.
I have made a few of these cookies before but am looking forward to remaking the choc chip ones because I know they are top-notch delicious and adding a few of the others.
Excited to bring you more Recipes, Guests & Claire Recreates in 2025! Taking a short pause while I’m on maternity leave, but stay tuned for highlights and surprise episodes. Happy baking!
The face falling at 01:21:34 😂❤
Congratulations
Congratulations Claire, I hope you maternity leave is full of joy and cozy nesting. Warmest and happiest regards.
Cookie question: If you put dough into the freezer, does that count as "aging" or "curing?"
Soon a little babe will be following Harris around! 👶
Mazel tov! So happy for you and Harris.
I have made several of your cookies, including the Spicy Molasses Cookies, the Blue & White and the Pistachio Pinwheels. Quite scrumptious. Although the B & Ws were a little time-consuming and I'm definitely not a soft cookie person, I will try the chocolate version.
Burnt basque cheesecake. Please 🙏🏽
These are gonna be a walk in the park after making your croquembouche recipe! 😂❤
I love these 1 hour episodes ❣️ thank you. Now I just need a playlist of like 4 episodes all 1 hour long. 💓
14:29 "I haven't had my lunch dessert yet" is probably one of the most relatable sentences I've ever heard! Dessert after each meal….WooWhoo! I assume this compilation video might mean that wee baby Saffitz has arrived safe and well? If so, a massive congratulations. Lee x
Where can I get your jumper (sweater)? 😍
I’m so excited for you and your husband! Happy maternity leave! Delicious video!
How'd you know all I wanted was to watch Claire make cookies for an hour and a half straight? 😂❤
This was a nice video, it gave me a reminder of cookies, you have made, and the filio cookie, is gonna be made for my coworkers here at my birthday next month, thanks for the great work always, both Claire and the guys behind camera.
The chewy molasses cookies are always a big hit! I usually make half as is — then half rolled in a mix of light sugar/cinnamon (rather than the demererra sugar). Both delicious, but I like the option that's a bit sweeter too!!!
Bake the baby well Claire! Happy motherhood
Have a wonderful maternity leave and sending positive vibes and healthy happy baby and you be an amazing mom 😊❤❤😊❤
All those cookies look amazing Claire! ❤😊😊
It would be a cool concept for a vid on how to bake them all at once! Like, pre batching, etc.
Thank You Claire! Keep note of your cravings…maybe your number one fave baked goodie will take center stage, let us know later? 😊
If I were to add less baking soda to the chocolate chip cookies would I get less spread and more of a mound? And would a bit of additional flour assist that mound-ness ?
the sheet pan lid is genius
This’ll be really nice to listen to while I work today.
Nobody makes Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies. <sigh> The perfect cookie and it's so often ignored.
So, when I first started watching your videos, I thought the intro song said “These are her sons” not “Dessert Person” now it might actually mean something 😊 congrats!
Who buys imitation vanilla and why?
Ive made all of these except for the black and white cookies and the phyllo pinwheel cookies! They’re next on the list for sure
What if you’re not a fan of citrus flavor in desserts, but really love the lime squiggles. 😭
I unfortunately do not like orange, lemon, or lime desserts. Maybe vanilla?
Nice Elk!!!🦌 1:10:40 😄
The cookie compilation was fun to watch and remember back to seeing the episodes when they first came out. One really neat coincidence that I hadn’t noticed previously was Claire’s cat, who is sharing the kitchen with her, is black and white during the Black and White Cookie episode.
Claire and Ina Garten are both proponents of "good vanilla," which these days is extremely expensive. On the other hand, the folks over at America's Test Kitchen and Serious Eats, in blind taste tests, couldn't tell the difference in most baked goods between the real thing and imitation vanilla extract, which is a fraction of the price. In fact, the flavor of the imitation stuff was actually preferred when there was a noticeable difference because of its higher vanillin content (vanillin is the chemical that makes vanilla taste like vanilla).
How do you feel about using convection vs regular oven feature?
I love the longer videos. Sometimes I have trouble sleeping and put on your playlists because it's relaxing. The longer videos do the same thing for me, I appreciate them!!
