Cozy Winter Boat Christmas Prep | Ginger cookies | Ultra Relaxing Silent Vlog

Hi Everyone, I'm decorating the boat with Christmas decor, baking cookies, and making a special cocktail to enjoy the coziness. The cookies are possibly the best cookies I've ever made. I'm so excited I found this recipe. They are chewy and soft, and incredibly flavorful! Yum. I hope you find this video relaxing and peaceful, and I hope it inspires you to get in the Christmas spirit if you aren't already. Cheers! Ginger Molasses Cookies: (I halved the recipe because I don't need that many! 1 1/2 cups (340g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature 1 cup (200g) granulated white sugar 1 cup (213g) packed brown sugar 1/2 cup (170g) unsulphured molasses 2 large eggs 4 1/2 cups (639 grams*) all-purpose flour 4 teaspoons baking soda 1 tablespoon ground ginger 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon fine sea salt In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and salt. Set aside. Using a separate mixing bowl, either with a stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugars on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy and a pale yellow color, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally as needed. Mix in the eggs (one at a time) and molasses, and beat on medium-low speed until each is combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredient mixture and beat until it is evenly incorporated. Transfer the dough to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the dough is completely chilled. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper; set aside. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter. Fill a separate small bowl with sugar, and roll each ball in the sugar until it is completely coated. Place dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until the cookies begin to slightly crack on top. (They will crack more while cooling.) Remove from the oven and let cool for 4-5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely. #houseboat #cottagecore #vlogmas #peacefulmoments #tinyhome #cookies #decorating #livingalone #simplelife #simple #hygge
