In a spoof of the educational series World of Chemistry, learn to make the greatest cookies around in this short video, featuring critics of the cookies who have nothing but uplifting things to say about the delectable desserts. The video is a spoof of the educational series, so it is done in a somewhat cheesy 90s style and in a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Trivia
Cooper was alive for the making of this video, he wouldn't die until around 3 months later.
Making a video about making cookies was for a Honors Chemistry project to "show reactions in an everyday situation."
The filming process of making the cookies was done on February 24th, 2023.
The whole film was shot in widescreen, but cropped to 4:3 for the theming.
