I absolutely LOVE how this video was shot! The host is so engaging and passionate... the cookies are so sophisticated and yummy-looking, everything was just perfect. I have to admit, I initially thought this was going to be one of those compilation videos, but I was really pleasantly surprised by how it was concise, yet detailed at the same time!

[@LindseyObrooke]

Almost like Chef's Table!

[@meganfontanes3283]

“It might get a little wonky but then I decided that’s going to be part of their charm” “it’s off center but who cares” her attitude towards imperfections is so inspiring

[@bonniec3829]

I thought the exact same thing when she said that!

[@domuuuuu]

Okay, but her imperfection still looks much better than mine. It's like you have to earn that attitude with skill.

[@user-gf3ou9xm2n]

Every single cookie is extremely stunning. What an artist!

[@deborahhooper6308]

[@hcblue]

These are some of the most stunning cookies ever, and the fact that they're christmas cookies kinda gets me in the holiday spirit.

[@glauren86]

This was incredible. I didn't want it to end.

I agree...way too short 💞

Cookies inspired by an Ellsworth Kelly piece?? She's on a whole other plane of existence from us.

[@アンジー-j3y]

This might have been the _smoothest_ cooking video I've ever seen!! I didn't even feel the 14 minutes and 41 seconds passing. Kuddos to Spungen and to the editing team.

[@thatgirlwithbangs]

This lady seems so fun!! Definitely the “cool aunt” of the family. I’m gonna try these!!

[@tomvalveede6808]

You are the most Creative Baker! Bravo!! ♥️♥️♥️🎉🎉🎉

[@moniqueramos4472]

you can tell she’s so happy and that makes me happy 🥺

[@errybodycopyingme]

To receive a box of cookies from this woman would be one of life's most memorable gifts.

[@heviutza]

Never have 15 minutes pass faster in my life! I didn't want this to end! This beautiful lady is such a treat to watch. Have you seen what natural smile of pure joy she has when she tastes the cookies? What a beautiful lady

[@laurenbray8314]

I come back and rewatch this every December. I love this ladies personality and how she intertwines art with food.

[@ojaaaaaaaaaas]

This was a whole different experience! It brought together two of my favourite things- art and cooking. She said she put her heart and soul and it shows MOREEEE SUSAN ❤ Also, as an indian, I’m so glad she said chai and not chai tea

[@bballerryday]

love her ideas for a cookie box, so creative and beautiful

[@hadadita]

watching this is therapeutic

[@pinkhandgrenade]

I watch this periodically because it's soooo soothing and gives me great cookie inspo. Would LOVE to see more content from Susan!

[@lonelyspacekid8695]

This is a comfort video for me

[@noj3896]

The most beautiful array of cookies I’ve ever seen.

[@kitchenmom]

In my family ( over here in schwabia Germany) it's tradition to bake cookies (Gutzle) and give them as gift and have them at home for guest in the christmas time. We are talking about many many recipes and many cookies. You have to have at least 5-6 different cookies in your house or people will ask if there is something wrong. Last year I baked 14 different cookies from easy stuff like Gingerbread to german Lebkuchen recipes that are 100 years old. Loved this video.

[@Juudithshine]

I'm also from southwest Germany and love this tradition. One of my best friends baked 16 different types of cookies in the last 2 weeks.. I wish I could spare that much time, it's incredible.

[@katsweeterly2039]

Ausstecherle! ❤️ Lustig hier in Baden sind Gutzle nämlich Bonbons. I'm from Schwabia too and like my nickname gives away, I am now in my 11th year of baking... I don't celebrate Christmas, but I sure do celebrate COOKIES 😋

[@someonelolxD]

I’m also from Germany! Would love it if you shared your Lebkuchen Recipe, I’ve been looking for a good one!

[@katsweeterly2039]

@@someonelolxD I have not found a good vegan one yet...it is really hard to do Lebkuchen as diy, even the non-vegan version... :/

[@kipperlane8959]

Thanks for sharing your culture, tastefully intersting!

[@ochervelvet9687]

I watch this video every year. It’s the most beautiful, inspiring cookie baking video I’ve ever seen.

[@monkiecher]

All the cookies are absolutely stunning. Anyone who receives these cookies for Christmas are truly lucky. Susan is an artist!

[@betsylindsay8480]

She said she put her heart and soul into these, it’s tangible. Hard to get inspired for 2020 Holiday Season....well, now I am! Thank you!!!!!!

[@hellobecky84]

This woman is truly an artist, wow. One of the more brilliant food videos I've watched.

[@nik1987o]

this is my absolute comfort-video, I'm just taking a break from work and... yes. I'm planning to do something similar this year for my friends and loved ones swell (but without all this icing.) I would love to see more videos like this.

[@AnnapolisGirly]

Wow this is so creative! Can’t wait to try a few!

[@jesswueb9505]

this was an extremely satisfying video to watch and the pairing of the music with the icing for the last two was *chefs kiss* amaze

[@amandac7270]

These are so inspiring I literally just pulled butter out of the freezer I’m making these cookies right now! I have the ingredients in my pantry for a couple variations of the thumbprint the shortbread and the chocolate!! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@trivialnonsense]

Wow, this has to be my favorite food video . So beautiful . I’m utterly inspired by this woman’s elegance, artistry, and good taste.

[@lauraannbrooks3810]

Great variety. Thanks!

[@amelianeubauer606]

Beautiful 🟣🟢🟤🟠🔴 from start to end, especially with the lively 106yr Nona expressing gratitude in Italian

[@laurab7302]

Best cookie box ever. Those tahini cookies, wow!

[@cw3387]

That’s it, everyone is getting cookies for Christmas. I can’t hold back the baking urge any longer after seeing this video! 😍

[@candicewaller403]

I've been doing cookie boxes as x-mas presents for about 5 years. I'm VERY popular x-mas morning! :-)

[@mitralujan5276]

We make cookies boxes for the Fire Depts in our county every year.

[@katv3607]

Nice! I bake for all my neighbors on Long Island, NY. I’m old fashioned (originally from Phoenix, AZ). I used to cook and bake with my grandmother. These will b perfect for my baking this year. Thanks for sharing the ideas and recipes. Happy holidays to all.

[@Haygou21]

I would watch 100 more cookies presented like this. They are all so stunning and the host was delightful.

[@karadunham6833]

Most beautiful cookie box ever!

[@MeganWall1019]

Susan is a wonderful artist. She sets the bar.

[@shrimtaro9764]

I watched this like 4 times last year and the KZbin recommendations decided to bless me with it again this year

[@The2011Godfather]

cookies 11 and 12 are just beautiful. I loved this

[@juliagutierrez7654]

I love when people give me food as a gift 🥰

[@laurieparente3425]

WOW these cookies look both delicious and beautifully scrumptious 😊❤Ty for sharing

[@clarinamascarenhas7499]

What an incredible, mesmerizing video. I would be over the moon with a box of cookies like this as a gift. Well done and thank you for sharing these recipes!!

[@erikadowdy686]

It’s like a SYMPHONY of Yummness

[@geoffreyblackmer]

I made the poppyseed cookies for the office. Everybody raved. Excellent recipe.

[@lidette711]

These aren't cookies--they're ART!

[@lauraannbrooks3810]

A cacophony of flavor, art, and homespun gourmet :) Very much enjoyed the presentation.

[@vyrtilanyrwen3071]

Wow! Astonishing is the only word that comes to mind. You know, I’ve been baking for years and years and years. I love it. Everything from croissants to panettone. Cookies to ciabatta. Watching this felt almost surreal. Some of the ideas in this video never would’ve occurred to me if not for this video. I mean, seriously. Applying an art background to cookies like Susan did here is phenomenal stuff. Getting inspiration for your cookies from art pieces is just otherworldly. It’s really pushing boundaries. I would just love to sit down and take some lessons from Susan. I feel like I’d learn a lot. I’ll certainly end up trying some of these techniques out myself.

[@KayGirl216]

Okay but she makes it look effortless and beautiful and I know just watching it how much work and talent this takes. What the heck.

[@rachs57]

I love this woman!!!! Must get her cookbook, she is a master

[@perthkraya3209]

I love just looking at them.

[@iloveyoufor10000years]

Art and food! Two of my favourite things combined! This is immaculate!!!

[@lalaaz2042]

This is the most gorgeous cookie video I’ve seen this year. You can see the passion, the host is very insightful, and just pulls you in to this wonderful culinary ballet of sugary art. Wonderful! Amazing work!

[@MrJt3451]

OMG THIS WAS THE BEST ALTHOUGH I MAY NOT LIKE EVERYONE OF THE THEM IT WAS SO UNIQUE AND FUN AND GORGEOUS AND DIFFERENT AND COOL AND JUST WOW GREAT JOB

[@meganlamont3072]

I could watch her make cookies for 6 straight hours. Such a beautiful and thoughtful video!

[@magus5425]

I had to watch first 40 seconds 3 times or 5 (i lost count) to listen to her and don't get lost in those cookies... Beautiful

[@stephaniesporn2354]

If NYT sold boxes of Susan's 12-cookie combination, I would be first in line!!

[@Topol60]

That's the most precious gift ever!

[@midnighteevee4246]

I’m obsessed with this video. Her passion for cookies is mesmerizing. In fact she inspired me to make multiple batches of cookies based on hers. Please make a second episode!!!

Having Beautiful Nonna wish Love and Merry Christmas to everyone at the end was the most perfect ending to your stunning video. Thank you.

Awe Susan ur a woman after my own soul! I made some of these last year n I will do more this Christmas, I love cookies so much. Thanks Spungen!!

[@PumpkinPails]

She seems really cool and doesn't take herself too seriously, and the cookies look gorgeous. I'd love to try that honeycomb one, I've never seen something like that before.

[@rickilynnwolfe8357]

I wish my husband was not on his 14th kidney and bladder cancers because if I could travel I would go to New York just to meet you and bake cookies all day with you ! Your the best Merry Christmas and May God Bless You like he has my husband 🌲

[@Siderea]

I looooveee her personality through this whole video. The marbled tahini cookies look AMAZING. Tbh, I'd love to try all of these.

[@adriennedull332]

I love her passion and creativeness she has for cookies! Amazing! Great production quality in this video too, it is an art piece in itself.

[@hkalsa7200]

This is absolutely gorgeous. I’m in awe of...everything in this presentation. Just beautiful!

[@Jazzycatinlego]

You say “lying in a puddle of chocolate” like it’s a bad thing!! 😁 Love this video and your cookie art! Beautiful!!

[@jerrilynnroth2117]

Susan Spungen thank you for the perfect video showing that you don't have to take all day to decorate cookies.I love decorating cookies but sometimes there's not enough time. I like all the flavors, seeds and crumbles you use . I especially like the "self" decorating cookie and the quick cookie cut into bars. However I think the most innovative is the honey comb candy poured over the shortbread. I think I'll make those but will dip one edge in chocolate. Again, thank you!

[@april4657]

This video shows some new techniques without requiring a degree in baking or art. These aren't pinterest mom cookies, but busy, not-overly-talented mom cookies. I love her ❤

[@ZaxorVonSkyler]

That was the most beautiful and inspiring cookie video I have ever seen! She's like a really cool baking aunt I never had! And her unique and beautiful cookies with delicious flavor combinations were out of this world! My artistic and baking side of my heart both feel blessed! Thank you so much for the video!
