Saturday (Oops, Sunday!) Spotlight: Best of New Year's Cookies

I hope that those of you who celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah had a wonderful time off last week, enjoying family and friends. (I sure did!)

 

But celebration time isn't over yet! Nuh, uh. No sooner than those holidays pass, we're kicking into high gear, making cookies and other goodies for New Year's blasts!

 

Or at least we should be kicking into high gear . . . here on Cookie Connection, I have a faint suspicion that many of you are still recovering from last week's events , as I've seen only a handful of new (2014, turning into 2015) New Year's cookies posted to the site - and thus hitting this week's hot list*.

From lovely ladies in festive party dress to cute-as-a-button lambs (2015 is the Year of the Lamb, after all), today's Saturday Sunday Spotlight has some wonderful 2015 additions as well as inspiration from the past year's cookies to get your baking engines going again. Enjoy!

 

#1: New Year! by The Cookie Lab [EDITOR'S POST: One of the recent New Year's posts on the site. Thanks for kicking off the season so splendidly, Marta!]

From here on out, our hot list dips mostly into cookies first posted, yet never spotlighted, at the beginning of 2014. (Exception: photo #10.) Despite their age, these cookies are still great food for thought for 2015 designs! (So, hint, hint, get cracking, people! )

******* HAPPY 2015! *******

Year of the Lamb. Maybe. More like Year of the Cookie to me.

 

* 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.
