Saturday Spotlight: Top 10 Summer Cookies

Even as recently as last week, I wasn't completely convinced it was summer, as Saint Louis was still experiencing record rainfalls and unseasonably cool weather. But now, with five straight days of sweltering temperatures, everyone here in Missouri is clamoring for swimming pools, the cheery music of the ice cream truck, and the sweet relief that both contain. 

Of course, I'd be just as happy staking out an air-conditioned kitchen loaded with summer-themed cookies - which is pretty much what I'm doing right now as I write this post! I can't get over the seasonal splendor that graced the site this week.

This week's hot list* includes the bathing beauties above, as well as pretty potted plants, strawberry fields, and even popsicles! Lucky me, I get to enjoy the cool pleasures of the ice cream truck without ever stepping outside! And so do you . . .

Stay cool wherever you might be this weekend!

* 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.

Congrats to all of the honorees! Honorees, just an FYI: I will be sending you "I was featured" badges some time in the next 24 hours, but I need to step away from the computer right now for a while. Keep an eye on your Dialog message box on this site - I'll post the badge info there.

What a Splendid lineup this week! Congraulations to all you Wonderful cookiers! It has been wet dark and stormy here in NZ the last couple of days so nice to have a summery day and look at gorgeous summery cookies.
