It's that special Saturday time again - and boy, have I got a wide-ranging lineup of beauties for you!
Of course, it's the season for pumpkins, so there are a few different (and quite original) takes on those. You'll see a fair bit of black and orange, too. But then there's a host of unexpected out-of-season stuff in this week's hot list* . . . like fire engines, a quaint neighborhood scene, and a pebbly set that reminds me of bygone beach days.
As always, the cookies that caught your eyes this week are pretty unbelievable and speak volumes about the diversity of talent on this site. Enjoy, and congrats to this week's stand-outs!

* 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.
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.
All photos shown here are the courtesy (and copyright) of the designers listed.
