GRINCH IS BACK + BAKING CHRISTMAS COOKIES | VLOGMAS DAY 16

[@DylannSama]

Alex, pls do a sit down talk with Mimi and grandpa and give us a backstory of their life. Would be a great idea around Mimi’s bday! Your grandparents are truly my favorite ppl lol❤❤

[@81lovee]

Yes 🙌🏼

[@marthainsalaco9266]

Great idea ❤❤ Would love to see that✔️Merry Christmas 🎄 Everyone May your new year be A thousand times better than Last🙏

[@danielaron8124]

Yes please!!!❤❤❤❤

[@joycebuxton5995]

Yes.... please

[@joycebuxton5995]

Merry Christmas everyone.... Alex are you ready for your birthday beautiful

[@kimberlydawn9536]

Little tip for your cookie baking: get yourself a small ice cream scoop and use that to scoop out your dough. The cookies will all be the same size and cook evenly.

[@brookelynn4455]

I dont think a lot of people understand the joy a new puppy or baby brings older people. My daughter spends more time with my great grandmother than anyone. They love each other so deeply & my great grandmother has told me that my daughter gave her a reason to want to continue to live ❤ its so special what you & mama fearless have done by giving max to mimi!

[@mollyw5674]

To soften butter boil a glass of water in the microwave and then dump it out and put the glass over the stick of butter and it softens in a few minutes

[@rorygilmore1924]

Hey Alex, the Kitchen Aid mixing bowl needs to be pushed down to lock it in place.

[@fjimenez817]

a good hack for butter is also pouring boiling water in a tall glass then after a lil bit throw water out and put ur sticks in the cup and flip the cup upside down and give it a bit the warmth with help thaw ur butter as well

[@amycasaletto6421]

Love watching you especially during Vlogmas💕 My husband passed away 12/5/19 on our 27th anniversary so the Christmas holidays have been challenging. You’re spirit is so positive and uplifting and there have been many days that’s pulled me out of the depression fog💗 Much love to you, Yar, and your family 🎄🎄🎅🏼

[@missycharlot5213]

Wishing you well ❤

[@jeannegoodness6067]

Just wanting to give you a (((hug))). Yes, I also love Alexandra’s spirit. She’s such a lovely person. Take care.

[@CashAndSpanglish]

Sending hugs and prayers your way. I’m sorry for your loss.

[@brookelynn4455]

Blessings & happiness to you this holiday season & all the others to come!

[@lizbet8357]

Ok, I’m asking 8 minutes into the vlog so you just might show us. But…. Where did you put the snowy village your mom gifted you?

[@thefumblingcuisiniere]

Alex, you can also just microwave a cup of water, pour out the water, and turn the hot cup upside down over the butter. After a minute or so, it will be softened. 😉

[@jesiheadman]

Love your content! One tip my grandma taught me when baking...Always use room temp ingredients....Eggs, butter, buttermilk, etc it makes everything creamier and always use the paddle attachment when making cakes, cookies, buttercreams etc. Love watching you try new things both in and out of the kitchen! You're an amazing person!!

[@tdublakeo]

Excellent advice. Using the whisk attachment for cookie dough does not cream the butter/sugar to the correct texture and it doesn't allow the flour to mix properly either. (it will also cause the Kitchenaid mixer to overheat and will ruin the motor) The paddle is the way to go.

[@dotsonms]

Good morning Alexandra, I just want you to know your Vlogmas has been so nice and really helped me feel festive being alone at Christmas ❤

[@81lovee]

Same here ❤ sending love to you.

[@dotsonms]

@@81lovee Thank you, much love to you!

[@annieh1938]

Accountability check-in for the paint by number!! 😂😊

[@libertymerullo]

Next time you use your kitchen aid, use the beater attachment for your final mix, because the whisk shouldn’t really be used for dough. Using the wrong attachment could damage your machine 💕🤗 love you

[@sweetsanddandy8639]

Exactly. The regular paddle beater is for dough. Not the h'whisk. 😉

[@danielaron8124]

Yes, the whisk will probably over mix the dough or the mix

[@ck2d]

Do you know about "thank my driver" on amazon?

[@Shelby5683]

Alex you are killing it ❤ you need to never forget how loved you are, you make my day every time you post ❤

[@gracerrie]

You making the cookies is like the epitome of baking with ADHD 😂😂 relatable

[@best_life_becca]

Okay, I've gotta know - whats the box in the backseat?! I thought i remember it being your moms christmas tree, but we're less than 10 days away, and its still in your car!

[@best_life_becca]

@caitjdaug Ah, okay - it feels like it's been there forever lol

[@cay-lynncrystalbarlow5766]

😂THE WAY YOU SAID ALEXANDRAAA😂 I say my name the same way when I'm unprepared

[@denisequimby169]

A peppermint bark is a good one to put in cookie boxes . And you so rock ❤❤❤❤

[@bicyclechick94]

I love watching you bake cookies as I sit in my PJ’s and drink coffee! Welcome to our 30’s 😂

[@thehighsandluos]

The grinch in the car is so cute. Love it! I feel like Bruno was hiding in the back at first like "Mom, you're embarrassing meeee" 😂🥰

[@emmadepaolo9683]

Alex, if you ever need to flatten your cookies when they come out of the oven oven, take a flat spatula and give them a light tap 😊 the spatula flattens the cookies so evenly, and then you don’t have to burn your fingertips off! Also, rolling any kind of ginger or molasses cookie in sugar before going in the oven makes a really pretty crackle effect on the cookie as it cools, plus makes them even tastier!

[@Denise19825]

Hi Alex. Merry Christmas. Can you kindly tell me where you got those green mixing bowls. I love the color. Thank you so much.

[@annemariewalker6334]

They're KitchenAid mixing bowls. Amazon sells them.

[@Denise19825]

Thank you

[@ea144]

Girl did you ever find your nail decals?

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

No!!!😂

[@DaraCotler]

Love that the grinch is back ! I pulled up to an adorable elderly lady with frosty in her back seat !!!! Love love love !

[@lipsmackrz707]

It might be weird but when these types of situations happen like the molasses situation I love to see how people handle the situation. Freak out, be dramatic, get mad or frustrated, improvise like you did or just be like oh well, find a different recipe. It’s just so interesting to me.

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

The human mind is funny

[@heymanders2356]

I sat my butter on the counter above my dishwasher while it was cleaning to soften it up lol

[@jamiemarie7064]

Instead of paying for the person behind you, please consider tipping that money to workers. The person behind you can afford their order and right now all window workers underpaid and overworked ❤

[@tdublakeo]

If your microwave is a Samsung it probably has a "soften/melt" button which is engineered to perfectly soften butter, it even asks how many sticks.

[@4jesjes]

The cookies look so good. I'm surprised you don't use Dominican vanilla. It is the best and makes your baked goods taste better.

[@CraftyItza]

Enjoying your vlogmas! Brings joy when I see them. There are 2 things I want to try the avocado toast and the peppermint mocha. I decide to do the peppermint mocha but I poured some to my Salvadorian hot chocolate drink today this morning and wow! Loved it!

[@CelisticMarion]

I make 5 different types of cookies for Christmas😮. I split it between a few days, I make at least 2 doughs a day, then have them all ready to go in the fridge, then I bake them all in one day. It makes the process so much smoother to split it between days

[@JenEar76]

The link doesn't work

[@swellis]

Some people really shouldn't bake.

[@rachelbrown5892]

LOVE the grinch in the car!! Awesome!

[@marjorieleonard-p4b]

Love watching your content at Christmas being alone it really helps ty

[@karenquick8737]

It was so fun watching you make cookies and you're such a good example of thinking of your friends to give some too! One of my favorite cookies is the Snowball one, which I grew up calling it Russian Teacakes. They are so delicious!!

[@shanonboerner1033]

Absolutely love you and this! It is so real and refreshing. Feels like we are there making cookies with you! My favorite Christmas cookies are spritz. It's a Midwest thing.. They are little buttery sprinkled press cookies that melt in your mouth!

[@karenkinyone613]

Ok listen I bought that white sweater with the gold now wen you first showed it I had a Christmas party at the Boston Seaport on this past Thursday and I loved it so soft

[@bettymccullough8355]

Since I have been watching you the last two years I’m buying these things I normally don’t do, but addicting. Love the car ride with The Grinch..would beep my horn and laugh..😊look forward to watching your vlog everyday during Christmas… Merry Christmas 🎄 and have a wonderful New Year…

[@bibivazquez3160]

Hi! Since you like baking for the holidays, maybe try to find bigger sizes of all the ingredients, like sugar, butter, flour, vanilla, etc., perhaps in a baking supply store, it will save you time, money and energy. Stock up on October and you’ll have plenty. ( parchment paper, baking powder & soda, molasses, sprinkles, cinnamon, baggies, boxes, tins, and so much more) Even I’m excited to bake something! Have fun, a great Christmas and a wonderful birthday!!❤

[@paulamanning8742]

Peanut butter fudge is easy and smells yummy plus you can cut it to fill-in your cookie tins.

[@jillcleaver4704]

Oh I just love seeing all your Christmas shirts each day. It’s almost like an advent calendar I look forward to each day. Thank you for being you! ❤

[@ChandraR4u]

Snowball cookies are my family favorite they ask me to make them every year along with my cheese cake. Your cookies look amazing...

[@KBsunnyday]

Snickerdoodles are always my fave for Christmas 🎄

[@SueB402]

Good morning Alex. Your cookies look yummy! I bake 12 different kinds every year for family/gifts and my snowballs, Italian knots and chocolate biscotti are always the most requested. It’s definitely costly and time consuming but worth it bc everyone enjoys them 😋🍪

[@reddog40]

Yummy!I started doing that yrs ago it's always appreciated, plus you don't have to figure out what to buy"just picking out the tin😆".

[@johannafra3]

I love seeing mister grinch hanging out with you in the car, it always puts a smile on my face =)

[@boogihoff]

Just wanted to mention to you that I make my dogs food, so much easier ❤it is very easy 🐕‍🦺

[@angielang6538]

I love the grinch as passenger! Love your vlogmas 😂

[@lynneyb2469]

Love the Grinch, the cookies everything ❤ and thank you for the butter hack.

[@britk6525]

Dying🤣🤣 love the grinch so much! It’s so sweet that you try and spread Christmas cheer and kindness to others love you girl!

[@amandarenee9162]

The molasses is in the brown sugar girl! Love your Christmas spirit.

[@saveamerica2896]

Bruno's thoughts are a nice touch😅😅😅❤❤❤❤

[@melissaann7380]

My goal is to make three kinds of cookies as well. I know for sure no bake cookies because there everyone’s favorite. I’m thinking chewy cut out sugar cookies that our little one can decorate and maybe snickerdoodle or chocolate chip!

[@jaimeces4090]

Love the cookie baking content 🤎🤍

[@TheBrooklynnPaige]

yay loved this vlog and seeing you ✨adapt and overcome✨ the molasses panic 😂 the cookie tins turned out so cute!

[@Jaydee215]

The realization moment over the cinnamon and molasses was too funny!

[@honeywell7892]

When I made the brie bites,I remembered to put the Brie in the freezer, but forgot to take puff pastry from freezer, so started again 2 hours later...lol

[@maddie4190]

LMAOOOO I saw the thumbnail, and I’m like, THE GRINCH IS BACK 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mariaolker]

I ran out of brown sugar today and learned how to make it. One cup of white sugar to one tablespoon of molasses.

[@julieweaver9430]

I love your Christmas spirit!

[@sherriedavis9754]

Snickerdoodles💄🥰💖💋 love them 💋🥰💖

[@kindrajayne3734]

Bruno really liked his advent calendar treat today. ♥️♥️

[@rose191991]

girl ypu got me stressed with the missing ingredients...😂😂😂

[@NurseMer]

Omg I love you and the Grinch!!

[@gggirl9713]

How about peanut butter blossom.

[@kloi12zh51]

[@jennylappalainen8346]

I love you Alex and how silly you are!! Feel like I am totally like you. Greetings from Finland and happy holidays ❤

[@kindrajayne3734]

The grinch ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@heatherearl9068]

Happy Vlogmas Day 16❤️🎅🎄 I always bake a ton of cookies at Christmas time. My favorite are the Italian 7 layer cookies. They are alittle challenging but so delicious 🍪🍪🍪

[@sugardate1978]

I’m laughing so hard about your Grinch,in your car.

[@opienattyvlogs7930]

One of my fave cookies is snickerdoodles 😊

[@teresamaria5804]

Bruno is pure joy!❤️

[@GG-lt5or]

HAPPY VLOGMAS DAY 16 ALEX❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ILYSSSMMM☃️❤️🎅🏼🎅🏼

[@busybeteetee5732]

Alex, this is your channel. You do exactly what you wanna do. If you wanna pay for the person behind you, you do that. It is up to that person behind you whether they wanna do the same thing or not. Don’t you listen to these naysayers. Keep doing what you’re doing because you have a blessed heart. And thank you for sharing

[@busybeteetee5732]

Next time you wanna pay for the person behind you. Ask how much their total. don’t try to stop someone else but do something that they enjoy. If you chose to pay for a $70 meal or something like that that is your prerogative. You should’ve asked before you paid. Next time donate some money to a charity of your choice or how much you prefer to donate.

[@janeebert4538]

Your holiday reels outfits are so gorgeous on you!! ❤

[@ginamariebertacchi8174]

Another great Vlogmas! 🎄⛄️🎄⛄️

[@ilianaguillen6656]

Merry Christmas 🎄

[@detert08]

Hi Alex! I hope you have a wonderful day ❤

[@amyguerrero4]

Crinkle cookies! Is my cookie recommendation!

[@kristishreeve9236]

Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite!😊

[@catieboroff9826]

Your eyeliner is super perfect and on point! Every time you blink I’m like “yes girl!” 🫶🏼❤️ love baking with Alex time

[@dreamingmusicgal]

Alex, Just FYI... Be careful put anything into people's mailbox as it is a federal offence for doing so. Also the mail person might think they are for them as well and take them. LOL Blessings!

[@Shelby5683]

I believe she is pretty sure she is putting it in her own mailbox!

[@PGRACIE13]

Placing cookies in her friends mailboxes or actually placing anything others than mail in your own mailbox is a crime.

[@detert08]

I’ve been following you since 2014 and I say coocoobananas constantly. So much my husband says it 😂

[@theazone92]

My google went off when you asked about molasses lol it gave the same answer 😂

[@kindrajayne3734]

I ♥️ your Christmas tree shirt!

[@YanelysAlonsoAwakenedCHICTV]

Love u Alex … beautiful soul you! 🎄😘

[@savannahsolis1517]

Now I NEED to bake! 😊💖

[@ximenaabr]

I love you for doing the most alex lol

[@annalangham3950]

Good job! Fun video😊

[@kaygilchrist6612]

Suggestion, pay to clear some lunch debt at the local schools. Those kids will never know who but their families would be grateful.

[@debzortiz]

Girlll your energy is so contagious! I love how giving and sweet you are to people even if you don't really know them. God will bless you for that. I pray for you guys and that he may answer your prayers 🙏 ❤️

[@vickyz188]

Love it all Alex ❤

[@Brookerulezz]

Such a fun vlog love it ❤

[@pinky7736]

Happy Saturday Alex ❤

[@annielukey1787]

Another room temp butter trick - stick the butter in your pants (sounds crazy! But it works!) The body heat from your skin will soften it. I’ll let my pants lining hold up the butter and go about the other prep and by the time I’m ready for the butter it’s good to go!

[@nicolelori412]

When you go to Mimi’s, you should definitely do the Crumbl cookie tasting again with Mimi and Pap lol I loved that their comments were making me laugh so hard !! lol ♥️💚

[@eimearinez]

Our butter comes in tinfoil so we def can’t do the microwave lol
