Saturday Spotlight: Top 10 Cookies of the Week

Hello, cookiers! What's on your docket this Labor Day weekend? Are you hanging up the pastry bags to dry or are you settling in for some soothing, uninterrupted cookie decorating time?

 

Unfortunately, you won't catch me chillaxing at any neighborhood BBQs this weekend. I'm still elbow-deep in cookie prep for the Oklahoma State Sugar Art Show, and will be solidly for the next 3 to 4 weeks . . . But who am I to complain? If you've got to work, what could be better than pouring yourself into something you love? Not much, I think.

It's clear from the energy on this site that we all work hard everyday to hone our craft. And judging from this week's hot list*, this toiling has certainly paid off! From painstakingly detailed needlepoint boxes to a fully illustrated rendition of the alphabet, each and every honored cookie is a labor of love in its own right.

 

Whether you spend this weekend recovering or working, you'll want to make time to savor these special cookies.

* As a reminder, a word about how the rankings are determined: The rankings are not at all subjective. In fact, they are determined essentially by you, our members, and the activity (number of views, likes, and comments) you've bestowed on each photo. The site uses a top-secret algorithm that weighs these various factors to determine which photos are trending most quickly (i.e., are the "hottest") over specified periods of time. As such, the hot list at the time of this announcement may look a little different a few hours or a day from now as more photos are added to the site. But what you see here is who was hottest over the previous week at the time of this post!

 

So that no one has an unfair advantage in making it onto a hot list, the algorithm is secret even to site administrators. Only our platform developers know the code, which has been exhaustively tested by those developers and Cookie Connection staff.

Congrats, everyone! FYI: Badges (and Facebook posting) will come late tomorrow night. I need to catch some ZZZZs so I can return to cookie decorating for the show in full force tomorrow. Good night, sleep tight!

Thanks go to Cookie Connection members, Jaci! The hottest trending cookies on the site are completely determined by how many views, likes and comments each cookie gets each week. A top-secret algorithm is used that weights these various factors to determine the overall ranking. I only include what I see at the top of the list at the time I post!
