The third-annual Bitten Word Cover-to-Cover Challenge is here!!
More than 500 Bitten Word readers -- 500! -- signed up for this year's challenge, which focused in on 25 holiday cookie recipes from six different food magazines.
Every day this week, we'll publish five recipes. So if you're looking for some holiday baking inspiration, you're gonna want to stay tuned!
Today we're kicking things off with five cookies that run the gamut. One of these was a big hit with the cooks who tried it. Another was a boozy surprise.
And one of these recipes was an epic disaster, thanks to a typo in a magazine recipe.
Which one? Read through to find out!
