Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. "That her daughter baked for her" is actually a dependent clause because it does not express a complete thought on its own. It relies on the independent clause "Jessica ate the cookies" to make sense and provide additional information about the cookies that were eaten. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.

Apologies for the oversight in my response. "That her daughter baked for her" is actually a dependent clause, not an independent clause. Dependency clauses cannot stand alone as complete sentences and rely on the main clause for context and complete meaning. Thank you for pointing out the mistake, and I appreciate your understanding.
