Hi, everyone! Thanks so much for the brief respite from the Spotlight over the last two weekends. Having a week off did me a world of good! I can finally think clearly enough to resume my cookie work! I sincerely hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving break as well (that is, if you celebrate). From the looks of today's hot list*, you've rapidly regrouped since Turkey Day and are well on your way to stocking up with stunning cookies for the Christmas holiday!
If you're a last-minute Charlie (like me) and haven't yet started your holiday baking, then this hot list should be right up your alley as well. It's got everything from traditional snowflakes and wintry landscapes to novel cookie arrays and scrapbook-style designs to stoke your creative fire! Enjoy, and congrats to this week's honorees!
