The bold words "Jessica ate the cookies" is an independent clause because it can stand alone as a complete sentence. The bold words "that her daughter baked for her" is a dependent clause because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. In this sentence, the independent clause is the main action, while the dependent clause provides additional information about which cookies Jessica ate.
