Saturday Spotlight: Best in Category

Hello, cookiers!

 

After baking and flooding close to 300 cookies in the last three days (with a few hundred more looming on the horizon), I am in a deep and seemingly inescapable cookie rut. That said, I'm throwing caution to the wind and completely changing up the format of this week's Saturday Spotlight. No risk of getting into a rut here - phew!

So what exactly is different this week? Glad you asked! Rather than featuring the top 10 cookies of the week, or the top 10 within a particular cookie category, I'm spotlighting the top in each of 10 hot categories. Below, you'll see the best in character cookies, platter designs, anniversary cookies, and so on. This being the case, the week's honorees are presented in no particular order, with the exception of the first cookier on the list who also had the hottest cookie of the week!

 

Congrats to those featured this week! And here's to a rut-less and carefree weekend for everyone!

* 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. But what you see here is who was hottest over the previous week at the time of this post!

 

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.

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.

I love these spotlights because it really shows the wonderful variety of things that can be done on a cookie canvas! Good job everyone who's attained a spot, everything was lovely!

Congratulations to everyone! I was wowed by each of these cookie sets and so happy to see everyone else was too! I love seeing all the amazing artwork you all come up with! Can't wait to see more! So inspirational! 

What a beautiful creative assortment of cookies - I always love the features!!  Julia - it's nice to know even YOU get in a cookie rut, however I'm confident you'll be back in the swing of things real soon! 

Bad icing week this week too - colors mottled on a set of about 100. But I have to run with the cookies as they are (and try to conceal the errors) because there's simply no time to re-do. Hundreds more to prep for OK State Sugar Art Show, so I will be working full throttle for the next 5 weeks. Plus, this cookie set will be viewed from afar . . . err.
