Sorry the t-shirts in this video are no longer available :(

In this video, we attempt to make the world's purest cookie and to see how it compares to a regular cookie. In my opinion, it has to be better, because it's pure.

    I forgot to mention it in the video, but we did not pull a vacuum in the oven! It is just vacuum sealed and some air gets pushed out when it's closed. I think pulling a vacuum would have murdered the cookie.
  • @Robin-pn6bh
    Him calmly handling substances that could easily kill him but panicking about making a cookie is absolutely hilarious
  • As a baker this is the funniest shit I’ve ever seen. Two men bake the most expensive cookie on the planet, freaking out because it’s cracking on the edges
  • @7thsluglord363
    An alien attempts to blend in with human society by crafting a native favorite recipe, the kuukee
  • The Alchemist freaking out with his humunculus cookie cracking is peak comedy...
  • Watching two men who have never baked a cookie bake a $5k cookie is an experience
  • The cameraman coaching Nile through basic baking practices was truly the blind leading the blind.
  • @tentedeagle
    Hearing Nile freak out about the cracking is the funniest thing I've ever heard

    I’m glad that Nile has a cameraman who guides him through the human experience
  • @lettersnstuff
    Nigel: turns gloves into grape soda also Nigel: has never seen cookie dough
  • @Kittenquest
    Nile making a cookie shape instead of rolling it into a ball and freaking out when it started cracking. 😂 Such a beautiful project.
  • @mattgolman
    I love that Nigel apparently didn't think to try baking a normal cookie first to try the process. He just jumped straight to an inedible $2k lab grade cookie.
  • @alexclairmont
    This feels like a skit where two aliens try to do something really ordinary and basic to try and fit in with humans and many shenanigans ensue lmaooo I love it
  • I like how he can wait multiple hours for a reaction to happen but waiting ten minutes for a cookie is ripping him apart from the inside
  • @fluffernaut9905
    This is really quite remarkable: My Mother is a Baker, My Father is a Research Chemist, Both were impressed by how bad this experiment was done. My mother because of the lack of a defined baking procedure for the cookie, the fact that you didnt watch a single video of how to shape a cookie on a pan, and the fact you made 1 single huge cookie instead of spreading the cookie dough to multiple cookies. My father from you lack of accuracy and how you handled the ingredients. You threw them around, dumped them, and "shot from the hip" when measuing for Vanilla extract and more things i dont understand. But i was just happy i got to see the shook and rattled look on their faces.
  • @dylanjonesSD
    I can’t believe Nile didn’t practice baking a normal set of cookies first
  • @heikaikki4824
    I love how Nile can turn gloves into hot sauce and paint into soda, but not cookie dough into a cookie.
  • @mustafamalik4211
    Label: 'Not for human consumption' Nile: Thank you for the suggestion
