Published:
At the beginning of December, I shared my 24 Cookies of Christmas series – Volume 5. It was a Lord Byron’s Kitchen holiday series – much like the many I have shared over the past few years. Now, I’m sharing all of the recipes in Volume 6. I published one recipe each day for 24 consecutive days, and just like when each series ends, I’m placing all of the recipes from that series into one post.
I do this because it’s easy to miss a recipe, especially when there are 24 of them day after day. Not everyone has time to check out a recipe every day. And, not everyone who reads my recipes has subscribed to my blog. Lastly, rather than having you search for each of the recipes, it’s easier just to scroll down one page and see them all at once.
On the backend, I’ve done all the work for you. As soon as you see a picture of a bar or square that you like, just click on the green highlighted box that says “CHECK OUT THE RECIPE.” A new window will open in your browser so that you don’t lose your place on this page. No searching, no downloading, each and every recipe is just a click away. Let’s get to it!
ALWAYS PLANNING AHEAD!
I hope you’ve had just as much fun reading through Lord Byron’s 24 Cookies of Christmas – Volume 6 recipes as I have had to create them. For the past six years, I have started to plan my annual cookie series in August. Yes, right in the heat of summer, I fire up some Christmas songs onSpotifyand try my best to get into the spirit. It takes me a few weeks to plan out the series and then I start baking so that I can test recipe ideas before sharing them with you. And, for the past six years, I have run a shorter series as well.I just can’t get enough of Christmas, folks!
