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.

Well, in this case proably not so bad. Once you get into the territory of sabotaging your competition or cheating, you get a problem. Or rather, as long as you want to be perfect by getting better at what you do, its fine. If you want to be perfect by winning everything, than it is unhealthy. There is a fine line between perfectionism and narcissism.

[@FuckSmucker]

@Dustin Reid what do you mean the whole point is that they crack and hold their shape and they have a design cut into them, untempered chocolate would never keep that shape and would just be a mushy, creased sphere

[@katienugent9343]

if you look at cadbury’s easter eggs. they’re not tempered so they’re easier to eat 💗

[@rchallender2493]

Thin Mints are definitely my families favorites! My mom used to hide stashes of thin mints all over the house for herself. Only problem was my mom was pretty forgetful and would forget where her stashes were, which has lead to random boxes of thin mints popping up in odd and unusual places 😂!

[@tomriddle5390]

Actually this episode was most likely filmed before the episode that Sohla used it for the muffins. Sohla says in the video after the butter explodes, I shouldn't have used this as Claire just cleaned it, shes going to hate me. This is definitely my thought on it as the microwave was clean when Sohla put the butter in to soften it.

[@NASYA767]

[@TeganMillerMusic]

siri H I, myself, have a difficult time hearing and I wish that more content creators actually included decent captions instead of the auto-generated ones! Especially with cooking videos- since many of the phrases are in French or they’re technical terms, so the captions are often way off.

[@TeganMillerMusic]

siri H if you have good hearing, I would sincerely encourage you to write a transcript for people like me, so we can enjoy the entire video instead of just the rough approximation we get with the captions! I don’t speak for the entire deaf/HoH community, but I do know that a HUGE portion of us would WHOLEHEARTEDLY appreciate it if you were to do something like that. Thanks for pointing out the huge need!
