We've barely had a ray of sunshine here in Missouri in the last few months, so what a pleasure it was to see such cheerful and summery cookies topping this week's hot list.!* I'd love to take a leisurely stroll in the cookie scene below . . .
Or munch on some cute-as-a-button kawaii popsicles . . . or swim among some dreamy cookie fish . . . but I'm satisfied with just sitting back and taking them in! They've all certainly started my Saturday out on a brighter note! Enjoy, and please say congrats to this week's deserving honorees.

* 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.
