Saturday (Oops, Sunday) Spotlight: Top 10 Cookies

 

Hi, everyone! First, I apologize for the skipped Spotlight (last week) and the delayed one (this week). It was the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US and so I decided to take off from work to be with family, to recover from my mother's move to St. Louis the week prior, and to do some things (besides cookie decorating) that I like to do.

Setting festive tables is one of those things I like to do.

I hope that all of you who celebrate Thanksgiving were also able to spare some time to relax and create wonderful new memories with your loved ones!

If there is a theme to this week's Spotlight, it's holiday time! Whether for the recent Thanksgiving holiday or for Christmas, the cookies on this week's hot list* shine. Special congrats to @Petra Florean and @Zeena for being the first entrants in our ongoing Watch-Learn-Create Challenge, and for having their entries featured here. (Double congrats to Zeena for earning our coveted cover spot for her entry, which actually combined the last two challenges into one!) But, enough chit-chat, let's see all of the lovely cookies that were honored this week!

Such a festive holiday collection! I can't wait to see the other Christmastime delights that you post this week, so keep the photos coming! You might also consider tying your posts into our current Watch-Learn-Create Challenge. That way, they can do double-duty as challenge entries and increase your odds of winning some one-on-one time with our special challenge guest @Evelindecora. What a wonderful Christmas gift that would be, right?! 'Til next week, keep cookie-ing!

* 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.
