At a loss for clever St. Paddy's Day designs? Got angst about coming up empty-handed at next weekend's big céilidh (psst . . . that's pronounced kaylee)? Worry no more - the cookies celebrated in this post could very well be your lucky charm!
This week's Top 10 St. Patrick's Day cookies cover the gamut from leprechauns and pots of gold to rainbows and shamrocks.
But apart from bearing superlative examples of the usual St. Paddy's day suspects, all of these cookies have that extra je na sais quoi (pardon, that's caighdeán doláimhsithe speisialta in Irish) which makes them stand out. It could be a tiny detail like the chubby cheeks on a leprechaun's face, or a full-blown design twist like a rainbow cookie turned into a party favor lid. But whatever it is. they've all hit that elusive high note - and we've hit the jackpot! I offer you the following - a veritable pot of (cookie) gold - and a happy, happy St. Patrick's Day.

* 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.
