Saturday Spotlight: Top 10 Patriotic Cookies

 

Seeing as the Fourth of July is just around the corner, it's only logical that we celebrate the top 10 patriotic cookies in this week's Spotlight. But don't be surprised if you see far more than stars and stripes and red, white, and blue on our hot list*. Here on Cookie Connection, where we welcome cookiers from across the globe, our "patriotic" clip set is a catch-all for cookies that pay tribute to countries and cultures everywhere. 

So in addition to classic Independence Day sets, be prepared for Canadian maple leaves (Canada celebrates its 150th anniversary this year!), a Japanese maiko (similar to a geisha), and flags and patriotic motifs of all ilks.

Enjoy! And, if you're here in the US, please take a break from the weekend's picnics and other festivities to honor what this holiday is really about: a remembrance of the many freedoms of democracy that our forefathers fought so hard for - treasures we should hold close to our hearts and guard with all of our might.

P.S. And don't forget - no Fourth of July picnic is complete without cookies! If they're not on your holiday menu yet, there's still time! 

* 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.

To check out our other hot lists, at any time of day, visit our Hot Spot, also found in the site's main navigation line.

Wow! I just got back from weeks at the cottage (with almost no internet) and found out that my Canada 150 Cookies were featured! Thanks, Julia and congrats to all the other spotlighted bakers! I'm honoured to be featured with such beautiful cookies!
