Bûche de Noël Cookies | Claire Saffitz | Cookie Week | NYT Cooking

[@pharoah125]

“No one ever really gives me cookies.” As a baker, I felt that.

[@SledDog5678]

I cooked dinner for a chef ....the chef said "No one ever cooks for me, thank you."

[@reddy272]

I'm happy that Claire measures ingredients like flour and vanilla extract on camera, instead of having them already measured in a small container. It makes the video much more like home baking and way more charming. Like Claire!

[@robertbrewer2190]

I cannot believe that a serious baker measures flour by volume and not mass? The spooning method she uses is an attempt to standardize the quantity of flour which is the weight or mass of the flour. "Don't leave flour in paper bag because it settles and becomes dense." So ......measure by mass! One more variable now is controlled. Beautiful cookies!!

[@allistar34]

@@robertbrewer2190 she is catering to an american audience, who mostly don't have scales. both of her books have measurements by weight

[@kalliste01]

@@robertbrewer2190 The written recipe has measurements. I did wonder if people are out there measuring 12 tablespoons of butter.

[@fcsolis]

I think this is the best cooking/baking video I've watched this year. So organized, so technical, yet feels so doable. Thanks, Claire and NYT Cooking.

[@senseijp8233]

Claire always has been and always will be the best teacher ever

[@mtt48734]

If you loved this you should watch her hour + long Thanksgiving prep video. It's a masterpiece.

[@laurasourdough]

Because Claire is THE BEST. Full stop.

[@NYsam15]

Claire is my favorite baker!! Her recipes are unique and intricate but still accessible for the average at home baker. Her apple tart, oatmeal cookies, and banana pudding are some of my favorites!

[@biancajingles2690]

Same! I’ve made her whole wheat pie crust, fruit tart, almond butter banana bread, malted forever brownies, brioche dough, speculos babka, marbled sheet cake, blueberry buckle, miso buttermilk biscuits, peach cobbler, caramelized apple pie, all in shortbread cookies, and butterscotch pecan pie slab and they’ve ALL been amazing 🤩

[@Redcapsicum97youtube]

[@davidwebca]

For me, it’s how her books are so well organized. Need to find a recipe for a specific dough because you have your own version of a recipe or inspiration? No worries because those are separate recipes that her own full recipes refer to. And the index at the end of the book allows you to search with multiple terms (is it a cake, with apples in it? Can find it under Cake and Apple!) I find myself grabbing her books instead of googling recipes 🎉

[@kimranson4775]

I just made her molasses cookies. They are always a big hit❤

[@daveplaysdestiny]

Sohla and Claire bookending another amazing cookie week! It’s such a festive staple. I know scheduling it would be impossible but would love to have a like zoom call entry at the end of all of them having a little chat about their cookies to each other.

[@Oltoir]

THIS!

[@isso84]

Claire is an absolute star

[@jessemosqueda1603]

I'm glad they actually have one project cookie this year and not just seven easiest-cookies-ever recipes haha

[@MinaF99]

Who complains about cookie recipies not being complicated and difficult enough 🤦‍♀️

[@anamariaharvey725]

100% knew Claire would show out for us 😂

[@Girlbffr98]

I thought the same lmao

[@mateusmestre1785]

I understand, i like a bit more of a challenge when i am baking​@@MinaF99

[@SebastianJArt]

Totally. Show me something good.

[@bitandbob1167]

This is one if the most impressive but doable cookies i have ever seen.

[@PabloRodRest]

Claire on Cookie Week!!! this is an early xmas present.

[@LikelyToBeEatenByAGrue]

Made these last night. It was a bit fiddly but not as hard as i thought it would be. It really is a very nice dough to roll. The cookies were amazing. The flavor and texture contrast between the topping, dough, and filling was great. Thanks!

[@samanthalarisch9467]

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING CLAIRE BACK

[@phillyarchdad]

Claire is so great about explaining the techniques and the why. Her demonstration of how to start the roll is wonderful!

[@tomsparks6099]

Claire is a master. She's softened a lot since her Bon Appetit days. This is wonderfully creative. Not your run-of-the-mill Christmas cookie.

[@jamesktucker979]

Claire is a National Treasure. A big Fan. What a Wonderful Time of Year to Bake.

[@galli0]

Excuse you, International treasure 💜🥰

[@anthonydolio8118]

As always, Claire's products are flawless. And she's such a good teacher.

[@noahdwyer933]

These look incredible! Love to see Claire back on NYT

[@AmericanShadewithBrittanyKing]

Claire's hair looks so pretty ❤

[@biancajingles2690]

Her hair got so long out of nowhere! I have a gray stripe like hers but much smaller and I love calling it my Claire streak 😂

[@OneAdam12Adam]

Claire. One of the best bakers in the world. Love her content.

[@miesenplace]

Claire Saffitz! Now I HAVE to make holiday cookies!

[@rosiea9693]

Thanks, Claire! I’m going to make these for our church ‘cookie walk’ next weekend. They look divine!

[@maureenmclellan1845]

What is a cookie walk?

[@mythrimommy]

I made this cookie and it was really good. Such a pretty cookie. I was so proud of myself for executing this fun but challenging recipe.

[@ItsHailey2468]

Claire never misses!

[@ashleys637]

These are right up my alley! I love baked goods that look stunning but don't require a lot of technical decoration. Claire is truly the GOAT of baking in this generation. Gonna try these as is (who doesn't love chocolate? Heathens, that's who), and then maybe do a batch with some instant espresso in the dough and peppermint extract in the filling for a peppermint-mocha twist.

[@magnoliawang6972]

Absolutely amazing! I am so excited to give this a try- i might even add a sprinkle of coffee powder into the filling for a nice kick. Thanks, Claire!

[@katiesteele9495]

Can't wait to try these! Your video takes away the intimidation.

[@Carlisios]

CLAIRE IS BACK AHHHHHHHHHH

[@prisfb]

Claire, thanks for this amazing recipe! I tried it and sold them at a market. People loved them!!❤❤

[@lindacsmith13]

of all the cookies I've watched on NYT this year, yours look the yummiest. ok, I'm a chocolate freak but still.

[@jakerioux6101]

feel like we’ve never seen Claire talk through a recipe so fast and focused

[@OtterChomp]

I feel like part of it’s due to the cutting of the video, very short pauses after her speech where it cuts off usually a few seconds after in her videos!

[@nutritionalyeast704]

This looks sooo intimidating but the result seems extraordinary

[@MaeganJohnson0105]

As someone with a 3 year old, I can tell you Claire that kids will like doing anything you'll let them do with cooking, but mine especially likes stirring together ingredients.

[@penneyburgess5431]

I can’t stand up for long periods of time. The constant returns of the dough to the fridge or freezer makes this the perfect Christmas cookie for me to make. Thank you so much!❤

[@teriwilliams6746]

Claire, I saw my beloved mom “chop” the flour, too!!🤗 I am even more impressed with your incredible skills!! Beautiful cookies. 👏🏽👏🏽

[@tinab6683]

Thank you for making a fun cookie that is for everyone to enjoy and I'm happy you were given a box of cookies.

[@Janestjohns]

This was the best of the series!! Must make!

[@ReclinedPhysicist]

Claire is such a perfectionist

[@humanoidcat9633]

i saw these in a box and was instantly super impressed. have been wondering, who came up with them the whole week, and now the secret is finally revealed - it’s our queen Claire

[@jeanseverson9164]

Wonderful!! Claire! Never stop baking for us!!😁❤️

[@camicri4263]

They look good enough to eat! Another great recipe! Blessings Claire!

[@CraftyKrystal]

My mom does the "chop it up a little bit" for the flour too! And I follow in her footsteps :P

[@pallaviullal9782]

Love Claire and her wonderful recipes! Thanks NYT

[@rosieb777]

i just love everything that Claire does 🤎

[@zalphoid1652]

We love Claire, yes we do.

[@mercedestunstall4858]

I love her comment at the end -- get more butter than you think you'll need. SO TRUE!

[@mariasoteloobregon4587]

Wonderful! A new Christmas cookie to make. Thank You Claire.🎄

[@diane.fontaine]

Love these cookies for the Holidays. Making them for sure. Thanks Claire for the recipe ❤

[@daniellepitzel]

Now THIS is innovation. I love it.

[@karinmarsi-williams8510]

Absolutely beautiful cookie, well worth trying. Thank you!

[@jeannekessler1304]

I made these yesterday and they were the biggest pain the butt! Never again! (Tasted fantastic, though 😊)

[@monicaries62]

Thank you for a great video and explanation. Claire! It was perfect. I can’t wait to make these cookies.

[@JaxHolder1]

Thinking of filling it with Nutella like filling. 😋

[@mia-jonaevargas444]

Love you so much Claire!

[@posthocprior]

This looks amazing. It likely would take an entire afternoon for me to make. If I had the time, I'd do it.

[@pucciann]

a piece of bulgur wheat 💙💙💙💙💙 YAY CLAIRE !!!!!!

[@chrissypena-leyendecker5263]

Clair & these cookies are fabulous!😍!

[@lazy_raichu]

i see a claire video and everything's good again

[@andrewmccrea37]

Awesome idea! This recipe rocks, Claire!

[@rondunbarjenkins]

the queen.

[@emily9027]

they are so cute!

[@karenf5928]

Saved the best for last!

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Gorgeous and festive cookies!!! So creative!!😋😋🎄🎅🏻

[@MrJackKnightSays]

I'm convinced that if Melissa Clarke is the Queen of NYT Christmas Baking, Claire Saffitz is the Crown Princess.

[@danbev8542]

These look amazing! Definitely gonna make them! Thank you Claire!

[@eschwartz1991]

brilliant, she's done it again

[@MaddieGracep]

MORE CLAIRE PLEASEEEEE!!!!

[@Seagypsea]

Claire Saffitz AND Sue Li?! NYT you are too good to us ❤

[@emlevy5792]

Claire is back!

[@FelipeAkira42]

I see Claire, I click

[@thirstaefortae5057]

These look so cute! I wonder if a jam filling instead would work too

[@Jay.1106]

Finally Claire ❤!

[@Peachlover345]

Love a great chocolate recipe

[@helenrasmussen3157]

I just made the rocky road ooohhhhh yummy and so easy

[@lizcencula66]

if we have to weight the dough we should just weight the flour no?

[@MsLamotta]

Very good video! I may try try

[@josephc2]

How would this taste with Biscoff chocolate spread inside? I might have to try ;)

[@Fashaw166]

Every time I see Bûche de Noël. I can't help but hear Julia Childs voice lol.

[@SarahMay-c3m]

Give Claire more cookies. 🍪

[@JustinLibbyInfo]

Measuring flour: volumetric is fine Measuring dough: GET THE SCALE [ I love Claire and this video, I'm being cheeky ]

[@Oh_Nanners]

We see how a perfectionist left free to run amok responds to cookie week, at last!

[@jrcasa7926]

Maybe in 2025, air the cookie week whole series in November; preorder can start then for the NYT cookie week box ❤

[@vexion369]

omg she's back!!!!

[@Redd513]

Great recipe Claire! I always enjoy seeing your videos. I do wonder if I could add some peppermint to the recipe?

[@brysonsolarie5597]

MORE CLAIRE, MORE SOLHA 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@kadestrickland980]

I LOVE CLAIRE

[@davideron5151]

Could you make a raspberry filling and use white chocolate and freeze dried raspberry’s

[@craftydemon529]

If you can't find cacao nibs and demerara sugar, will something like Oreos and chips ahoy work for the outside coating, or will those burn when baking? Or is there another replacement you recommend? And is the Greek yogurt/sour cream necessary or is there another substitute? I don't use either so I wouldn't want to buy some just to use 2 tablespoons of it

[@velvetg]

Yeah!!!! Claire !!!!

[@samrabojanowski3567]

I don't have a food processor large enough in which to make the dough. Can I use a pastry cutter instead?

[@deeharrison3036]

is it possible to roll the dough to the size you need then put it in the fridge until it is cold, then spread the filling after it is chilled?

[@loupgarou95]

I did.

[@deeharrison3036]

@@loupgarou95 did it work okay? I am going to give it a go if it worked for you.

[@loupgarou95]

@@deeharrison3036 Yeah it worked fine for me. I just rolled it out fully to begin with between plastic before chilling it, then trimmed to size and spread the filling. Seemed easier to consolidate steps.

[@lolwhat2628]

Claireeee 🎉❤

[@ahmadh.1207]

I LOOOOOOOOOVE CLAIRE

[@davidhensley76]

A vanilla or coconut filling would be good, too.

[@tinaknoell2401]

I "chop" flour in the measuring cup, too! HaHaHa! ❤

[@barbaramcfadden527]

Curious, why didn’t you roll out to the desired length right away? Then, freeze. They look so delicious!

[@melsyoutube]

the queen

[@Kariwable]

oh ! Learning I didn't really know anything about the Dutch process... interesting

[@taraortiz]

A someone who makes all her christmas cookies way ahead of time and freezes all the dough in October, this is essential. Ain't no way I'm mixing dry/wet ingredients in December 😂

[@rachelsuson27]

Yay! Claire!

[@KellyLira]

But Claire, you’re right! Your caramel apple skillet crisp was fun to make w kids! My 1 year old daughter loved it!

[@europeanguy8773]

First comment yay ! Just got Claire's second book a couple of days ago. Happy Holidays ya'll.

[@sheebanishat]

Are these cacao nibs roasted or raw? This cookie is on my to do list. 😊
