The run-on sentence is the second one:

"Amy wanted to make chocolate chip cookies for the party she forgot to buy chocolate chips when she went to the store so she made sugar cookies instead."

Why: It joins multiple independent clauses without proper punctuation or coordinating conjunctions.

Possible fixes:
- Break into sentences: "Amy wanted to make chocolate chip cookies for the party. She forgot to buy chocolate chips when she went to the store, so she made sugar cookies instead."
- Use punctuation/conjunctions: "Amy wanted to make chocolate chip cookies for the party, but she forgot to buy chocolate chips when she went to the store, so she made sugar cookies instead."
