  1. Happy New Year! We’re gearing up for an exciting 2025 with some amazing videos in the works, but we want your input! What recipes should we try, what snacks should we recreate, and which city restaurants should we explore? Wishing you a wonderful holiday season, and thank you for your incredible support over the years! Dessert Person Crew

  2. Happy New Year and great episode ✨ I would love for you to make something like Leibniz choco whole milk cookies, they are my favorite here in Germany. Or maybe mulino bianco baiocchi pistacchio cookies, so good! Can't wait for the next episode ☺

  3. where i live we have a cookie called 'cats tongues' but its a tiny round hard cookie, and we have a cookie called 'Deer's tongues' wich looks like what Claire says is 'Cat's tongues' . Das crazy that that are many tongue named cookies across different countries

  4. Did anyone else have the pleasure of enjoying the Trader Joe’s “Milanos” while they lasted?? Ugh they were SO GOOD, then they were pulled because Pepperidge Farm sued (they were mad TJ’s version were superior) then they CAME BACK- only to be discontinued a year or something later?? It’s one of the greatest tragedies of my life. They were exquisite.

  5. as a science teacher and STEM instructor, I absolutely LOVE this video! how you measured the cookies, compared and contrasted two different models, drew from background knowledge and looked for references, made a procedure, continuously experimented and improved, had multiple trials and attempts, changed one variable at a time to see the differences, collected quantitative and qualitative results from the product of your recipe and compared it to the model. I love it so so much!! Sometimes it’s hard for students to see how to apply the scientific method outside of the classroom and the direct science disciplines (biology, chemistry, physics, earth science), but cooking and baking are true and tangible applications. There is so much science that happens in the kitchen, and I always appreciate how you explain and mention the connections in your videos as you bake! I hope to show this to my students; thank you Claire, you always inspire me! ❤

  6. As someone who does this for a living, I always find it really interesting to see how different home cooks, chefs, and food enthusiasts approach this type of “replication” product development. I found myself answering Claire’s questions of how she might solve certain questions she asked herself and also asking “I wonder why she chose to do it that way?” in my mind. This will always be my favorite of your series’ Claire and Dessert Person team; it’s awesome to see people interacting with my field and I love watching people just experiment and learn from their previous attempts.
