In the sentence, "Jessica ate the cookies that her daughter baked for her," the bold words "that her daughter baked for her" form a dependent clause. This means it cannot stand alone as a complete thought and relies on the independent clause, "Jessica ate the cookies," to make sense. The dependent clause adds extra information about the cookies, explaining who baked them.
