Pastry Chef Attempts to Make Gourmet Girl Scout Cookies | Gourmet Makes | Bon Appétit

Join Claire Saffitz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she attempts to make gourmet Thin Mints, Samoas and Tagalongs. That's right, Claire's making Girl Scout Cookies. Did you know the Girl Scouts started selling cookies back in 1917? But it wasn't until 1951 that the Thin Mint, the cookie most synonymous with the Girl Scouts, was introduced and swept the country like a tidal wave. And now here we are, in the Test Kitchen, watching Claire make them herself. What a time to be alive.

[rvsalka]

the fact that Claire saw selling the cookies as a high-stakes competition is, in fact, not surprising at all

[lovemanythings]

Everytime Claire says "I'm confident", I look at how much time is left in the video

English is not my first language and I've just recently found out that "parenthesis" is in fact not a baking ingredient.

[norahmartin]

someone said this show is like the office of cooking shows and now i can’t unsee it

[NoOneSpecific]

Chris's soft "oh my god" when he saw the channel in the samoa was A+

[emily_kate_]

Gaby melts my heart "you can use my bottle" " here my jacket" BLESS HER SOUL

[seanterri]

Claire: _did you win?_


Rhoda: *visible confusion*

[liliananunez]

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW CUTE IT WAS WHEN SHE DECORATED THE SASH

[TheDeeeznuts]

ARE WE NOT GONNA ACKNOWLEDGE GABY BRINGING A JACKET TO CLAIRE!!!! so sweet, my heart!!!😭

[zackoaks]

Clair seeing Girl Scouts as a competition and dropping out because she didn’t win is the most on brand thing I have ever heard

[j-m-cole]

when claire stopped everything to clean something that wasn't immediately necessary as a form of anxiety management... i felt that

[bethnelson]

The way Claire lights up when she sees Rhoda is my favorite

[_aiko]

"Do not use Jon's peanut butter"
Poor jon :(

[alex]

If Rhoda unfolded giant wings and flew out of a window, straight back into heaven,
no one would even bat an eyelash.

Insert Sohla's: "Claire just cleaned the microwave! She's gonna be so upset."

[charlottesophieprag]

Claire: "I usually do it alone. Its always how it is the best."

Also Claire : can you help?"

[haydenrogers]

no one:
Claire: “this microwave is a disgrace to the test kitchen.”
