This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Jessica ate the cookies that her daughter baked for her.

In one to two sentences, identify the bold words as an independent clause, dependent clause, or phrase, and explain their functions within the sentence.

Answer: dependent clause

Explanation:

A phrase refers to a combination of words that don´t have a subject-verb component and are used as a single part of speech.

An independent clause is a simple sentence that can stand alone, as it has a subject and a verb. It can also be accompanied by other clauses or phrases in a complex sentence.

In this example, "Jessica ate the cookies" is an independent clause that is followed by an independent clause to form the complete complex sentence. A dependent clause requires an independent clause to complete a sentence because it cannot stand on its own. Such is the case of the bold words in this example.
